CULLENWAINE improved on previous chase form to finally take advantage of a lower mark in this sphere at Thurles on Saturday and the way he forged clear gives reason he can defy a penalty. Room To Roam went off too hard at Navan so is worth another chance, while One Night Standard remains capable of better in this sphere.
