Formscan  - PLEASANT MAN was narrowly denied on his handicap debut at Exeter six days ago, but the son of Galileo, who remains unexposed in this sphere, is fancied to go one better today. Just Loose Change bolted up from a 9lb lower mark in October and he merits consideration on his return from a break, while Clay, who was an eye-catching third at Doncaster last month, is another to consider.
