MICRO MANAGE was lightly raced but smart on the Flat and showed more than enough promise to suggest he's well worth persevering with in this sphere when third at Leopardstown. Great Bear was way out of his depth in a Grade 1 3 weeks ago but rates the main threat back to a more suitable level, with Genois and Envious Editor best of the others.
