JAWBOX has twice been a short-priced beaten favourite in bumpers but has run into a couple of smart performers and had to settle for second. He's not exactly bred for jumping but is expected to do well at the game unless the ground becomes very testing. If he doesn't come up to expectations then Top Line Tommy could take advantage after chasing home Very Excellent at Bellewstown. Ruinous would prefer plenty of give in the ground but Mithmaar is fit from the Flat and hails from a yard going well.
