Thomas Macdonagh is better known as a chaser but Pyramid Place slips further down the weights and Jungle Jack was unbeaten prior to finishing second at Bangor in March on his handicap debut. Rocky Man took advantage of a drop in class to score at Wetherby a month ago and Ginger Mail won on soft going at Doncaster in February and last month at Ayr. But DJELO (NAP) is 2-2 after bolting up at Exeter on his UK debut and could be better than a handicapper.
