The Jailer remains in fine form having made all to win his last two starts. He beat Rocker over C&D last month but, though the latter is weighted to turn the tables here, ATHWAAB could prove a bigger threat. Noel Quinlan's charge also led from pillar to post over track and trip last week but can also come from behind and may be content to get a good tow from his main rival on this occasion. Miss Firefly has plenty to find with the selection on recent running, while Billy Red and Maryolini looks in need of some respite from the handicapper.
