FormscanBy Michael Graham - MANTON BAY could be the one up in trip. This Dundalk maiden winner looks to have a fair engine under the bonnet given how he finished in a close third in a €50,000 handicap over 1m at Naas after being slowly away. Being by Ulysses, and a half-brother to a horse who won over 1m6f, a step up in trip could see him in a better light. Madbadanddangerous hasn't been out of the first three in his four starts and was only beaten half a length into second over 1m2f in a Leopardstown handicap in April. Now Maybe steps into handicap company after two placed efforts in maidens, while Minella Rocket wasn't far behind Manton Bay in third at Dundalk.
