FormscanBy Michael Graham - COMPANY KEEPING is one to keep on the right side of. He attracted support before finishing fourth over 7f at this venue last week. That was only his fifth career start and, indeed, his first crack at polytrack. He only gave best in the closing stages so dropping back to 6f could suit. Manhattan Dandy has each-way claims off bottom weight. As a long-standing maiden, his form can be in and out but there was plenty of merit in a close fourth over course and distance this month. He has a low draw to work from. Betrayed was a fair fourth in a slightly better grade on her first start since switching to Leanne Breen. She is more than capable of getting in the mix. Jockey Kevin Manning has a good record when teaming up with Breen. Hell Left Loose and Adams Barbour both have claims but will have to overcome tough draws. Teddy Boy was only headed close home on the sand in Laytown, and could do better than on previous visits to Dundalk.
