Jupiter Road won twice in Ireland for Joseph O’Brien including at Bellewstown earlier this month and debuts for new connections raised 4lb. EDARAAT has a 9lb hike to contend with but still won cosily at Kempton on his handicap debut despite veering in the closing stages and can go in again with further progress expected. Salam Zayed missed out on a hat-trick at Chester last weekend but was beaten only a length and is preferred to One To Go, who faces a tougher task after placing over a shorter trip here. Double Honour went close at Doncaster on his only previous attempt at a mile and could figure now handicapping for the first time.
