THE JAM MAN (NAP) overcame trouble in-running to win for the fourth time in five starts at Hexham last month. His only defeat in that run came over this course and distance in April but he was only beaten half-a-length. He’s gone up another 7lb but deservedly so and he may have one more victory in him before the handicapper takes charge. Loud And Clear has been placed in all three previous starts on this track and will be winning soon while Dawerann is more than capable in this grade. Yes Tom is in the veteran stage now, however, and Simply Mani still has some improving to do.
