THE JAM MAN (NAP) easily landed a touch under Aidan Coleman at Southwell last week and it would be no surprise to see Ronan McNally’s charge follow up here with his penalty. No No Mac was a good second over a shorter trip here last month but Justforjames looks a bigger danger having finished second over course and distance last time following a break. Al Co and Silver Man both rolled back the years last time and Jot'em Down is still unexposed over fences but winning pointer Ruperra Tom is 0-13 under Rules.
