Forecasts

Buy The Dip (5/2), Double Down (7/2), J J Stingleton (4/1), Brigitte (11/2), Streetstorm (7/1), Greavsie (9/1), Mont Vallon (22/1), The Game Is Up (33/1), Stamford Blue (66/1)

With cheekpieces refitted, J J STINGLETON got back on the up when fourth at Bath last time and he remains lightly raced at this distance. He can build on his latest effort to return to winning ways, though Double Down now has a visor reapplied and is respected having made the frame on his last 2 starts. Handicap-debutante Brigitte completes the shortlist.
