Jigajig looks well-weighted on his return to the all-weather but with the theory being he might be better on the turf we prefer to side with DIMAIRE, with Taper Jean Girl looking value for each-way punters. Having only found Jigajig too good on her penultimate start the pick is weighted to be a lot closer this time racing off the same mark. Her last run can be ignored when she didn't like a return to racing on grass and she looks the safest option. That said, if the penny has now dropped for Jigajig then he may be hard to beat. He's now 9lbs higher in the handicap then when getting the better of the pick and having only missed out by a neck at Musselburgh when 4lbs worse off, then he could be one to beat if he carries on progressing. Taper Jean Girl narrowly missed out when a pound lighter in February so has a shot at minor cash while Vilnius is looking to follow up on success at Warwick on his last run. Another tough contest to fathom but Dimaire just about lands the call at the forecast odds.
