Formscan  - Joey Ramsden has been pretty successful since returning to the training ranks and he has a solid chance with PLEASANT MAN, only beaten a neck into second over a mile and a quarter at Lingfield last time. He has won off higher marks in his youth and a clear run could prompt a first win since January last year. Victors Spirit makes his handicap debut off a lowly mark in a first-time hood which is interesting, though Everyoneknowsadave could be a bigger danger.
