Verdict

BANK THE BUCKS can start making up for lost time. He was in very good form in 2012 on fast ground but wasn't seen again until a couple of weeks ago when just touched off by He Is Top Class at Roscommon. With Shane Shortall claiming his 7lb this looks a perfect opportunity for the eight-year-old. Couleur De La Loi has gone up 6lb for Sunday's victory over this trip at Tipperary though that was on ground with some give. Old Theatre Royal looks ready to win soon after a fine run over this trip at Sligo, only his third run in over three years. He looks the main threat though Kinneagh Cross bounced back to form last time and remains on a fair mark.
