Going - Good, changed to good, good to firm in places after race 5. Overcast

Formscan By Alan Magee - CHICAGO POPE beat Michael’s Well in a maiden over course and distance last autumn and had Midnight Dusk back in third when the pair filled the places behind Oh Cecilia over 5f on his reappearance at Cork. The Johnny Murtagh-trained gelding should appreciate this step back up in distance and is preferred to Ocean’s Breath who showed promise in two turf outings as a juvenile before scoring in decisive fashion over this trip at Dundalk last month. Pass Me If You Can also bids to follow up a Dundalk maiden win last time, while others to consider include Tahcawin and Joyful Tidings.
