Cavalry regiment is pressing outside bank (9)

I believe the answer is:

ironsides

(Other definitions for ironsides that I've seen before include "Several Edmunds" , "one showing great fortitude" , "Those having great stamina" , "Cromwell's army" , "Cromwell's cavalry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
