Verdict
MICRO MANAGE has now been beaten at short odds in all four starts over hurdles but the three-times Flat winner was only beaten half-a-length at Naas and the winner went on to land a Grade 3. There is nothing here with comparable form so it could be hurdling newcomer La Hacienda who chases him home. A winner on the Flat in France for which she's penalised, she showed potential for new connections in the summer and has a fine pedigree. Anyonecanhaveitall was in excellent form on the level in the autumn, scoring here and at Down Royal, and he should make a hurdler, while Fanoir showed a bit of potential in bumpers.
