Formscan By Tom Weekes - MANTON BAY might ideally prefer another furlong but has solid handicap form. An all-weather winner at Dundalk last November, the selection has run consistently well in each of his four handicap runs, having met traffic when well held at the Curragh in June, and should compete from the same rating as when runner-up at Leopardstown last month. Iamimmaculate also drops slightly in distance and having run well at the Galway festival, should compete wearing a first-time tongue-tie. Mayflower was well held at Galway but her rating has slipped, and she had previously shown form at a higher level. Totally Puzzled defeated Elmakaya to win at Naas in May.

Quotes on Kirkland Sioux (IRE)
She's progressing and gets the mile well. Very happy to win another one with her. How deep the race was, it's hard to know, but she had a nice light weight on her back. There might be something for her in Galway.

Quotes on Manton Bay (IRE)
Nothing kind of went right in the early part of the race. He's very raw and we haven't a lot done with him. Lovely eye-catching run in the Curragh, he stepped forward from it. We haven't really done much with him since the Curragh, to be honest. I'd say he has a lot of scope, he grew a lot in the last sort of month, and he is definitely going to make some helluva three-year-old. I think he is going to be a good horse. No, he's not in the sales. We sell the odd one privately. He's a real three-year-old type and is one we are looking forward to. He is by Ulysses and will get further. Fingers crossed, he might get into a nice horse next year.
