STOCKBROKERS Henry Cooke Lumsden believe shares in Airtours, Crown Eyeglass, Wardle Storeys and Wolstenholme Rink are all set to rise and are suggesting them as 'buys'.

They advise investors in P&P, Scapa, Seton Healthcare and Silentnight to hang on to their stakes.

P&P finished seventh in a table of the North West's best performing shares in December.

JJB Sports, run by former Blackburn Rovers player David Whelan, were third in Coopers & Lybrand's Sharewatch.
