Jabhaat was last seen in a decent handicap at Glorious Goodwood and Ed Dunlop has slapped the headgear on in an attempt to eek out further improvement. THOMAS HOBSON came good on his handicap debut at Leicester and we'll take him to follow up on this occasion. Admittedly, that victory did obtain on a much softer surface but he'd raced with some credit on decent ground and he is at least proven over the trip. Dark Emerald would come into the reckoning if there were a slow gallop. He ran respectably in a first-time visor at Kempton and has obliged previously under Kieren Fallon. Swift Bounty can be inclined to race keenly but Alan Jarvis's colt has ability and he gained compensation for a series of placed efforts when prevailing at Brighton last week.
