Bankroll made all over 7f on ground with some give at Naas a fortnight ago but has been handed a 9lb rise. Runner-up GUNNER LINDLEY, who was having his first start for new connections after scoring at York for Barry Hills last summer, is 6lb better off and, as he was staying on strongly at the finish, can gain revenge and take this. Bold Thady Quill could only stay on at the one pace that day and Castle Bar Sling was beaten a long way. Whipless ran really well over 1m2f at Gowran last time where he was in the lead at today's trip. He can go well as can the veteran Toufan Express, who has dropped to a mark 1lb lower than when last successful at Limerick in September.
