It's hardly surprising that Denis Cullen lets BY THE BANKS (NAP) off the leash again after an impressive all-the-way victory at Wexford on Tuesday. He has a 6lb penalty to contend with but this looks no tougher and a follow-up looks on the cards. De Benno is consistent enough but has never raced on anything but soft ground so it will be interesting to see how he handles these conditions. Royal Chief's only success came on good ground at Downpatrick a year ago but he's now 10lb higher. Super Cloud hasn't run since 2013 and makes his handicap debut while Disputed is another who could find the ground a bit lively.
