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.
