Manton Bay
Manton Bay is a three-year-old with the kind of steady, reliable record that suggests real potential. Two wins from eight races doesn't jump off the page, but a 25% win rate — roughly one victory in every four outings — is exactly the sort of win rate that catches the eye of anyone who knows racing. What makes it more interesting is how recently those wins have come. The horse won last week at Killarney, and before that was beaten only once in its last six races, finishing second three times and third once. That run suggests a horse hitting form at exactly the right moment.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The horse is trained by David Marnane at Bansha in County Tipperary, a yard that has already sent out 21 winners this season, so it's operating in a stable that knows how to get horses ready. Manton Bay's first win came in November 2025 at Dundalk, but the real story is what has happened since — a series of consistent runs that shows the horse belongs in races at this level and can beat decent opposition. The second-place finishes are the telling detail. In racing, horses that regularly run second often have that extra gear coming, and Manton Bay has found it twice now in its last eight races. With a win just days ago and momentum clearly on its side, this is a horse worth watching.
