Verdict

BANADA BRIDGE can race off a 2 lb lower mark than when a good recent fifth at Wexford so is taken to gain an overdue maiden victory in a handicap where plenty arrive with a question mark against them. Junot could emerge as the chief threat on the back of his good Thurles fourth, with Maimie's Magic and Man River also in the mix.

  1. BANADA BRIDGE (IRE)
  2. JUNOT (IRE)
  3. MAIMIE'S MAGIC (IRE)
