Verdict

MANTON BAY has yet to add to his juvenile Dundalk success this season but once more shaped well when a strong-travelling eighth in a big field at the Curragh last time and could prove the answer in this open-looking handicap. Dark Viper is feared most on the back of an eye-catching recent second here, while Apercu and Kilcrea Rock can also play a prominent role.
