Verdict
BANADA BRIDGE (NAP) attempted to make all over the track and trip on Monday but was caught at the last by Sayitfirst, who stayed on well. The runner-up has much the better of the weights and and should reverse the form. Depeche Mo is still a maiden but ran his best race to date at Wexford while Brownstone also showed improvement when sent to Perth. Mourne Mist only weakened from the last at Galway but has been beaten three times from this mark.
