FormscanBy Gary Carson - MICHAEL’S WELL has to give weight away to his rivals here but looks like a nice type and may be up to the task. The Havana Grey gelding won on his second start last season, at Navan, and that form got a boost at Dundalk on Wednesday with the fourth horse Ocean’s Breath winning impressively. Chicago Pope beat the selection at Naas but the Harty-trained horse was a touch green on his debut then and has obviously improved since. Johnny Murtagh’s other runner, Nakamura, may be a bigger danger. He was progressive last season and was last seen finishing a solid fourth in the 'Birdcatcher' at Naas in October.
