FormscanBy John O'Riordan - A lightly-raced son of Ulysses, MANTON BAY(5) can register a second career win. Off the mark at Dundalk in November, the David Marnane-trained colt ran a huge race on handicap debut when third in a strong contest at Naas on his next start. That form was well advertised subsequently, with the winner, second and fourth all going on to score. Runner-up at Navan on his next appearance, plenty of winners also emerged from that race and following a mid-division finish at the Curragh last time, he is worth another chance. Ulster Oaks runner-up Apercu looks the danger as this represents a drop in class for Andy Oliver's mare. Kilcrea Rock needs to improve but could be capable of doing so.

An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (90 = 10st)
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
