Fairly useful winner at 14f on Flat and showed much more than on hurdling debut when second in 17-runner maiden at this course (2m) 28 days ago, no match for winner. May do better still.

Looked a potentially useful recruit to hurdling when scoring in smooth style at Leopardstown in December. Better than the distance beaten suggests in Spring Juvenile since and looks the one to beat.

Stepped up on hurdling debut form when winning 18-runner juvenile at Naas (15.7f, good to soft) 27 days ago. This is much tougher.

Successful in mares listed event at Doncaster in January. Out of her depth tackling Grade 1 company at Leopardstown 3 weeks ago but this is less demanding.

9/2
2 wins from 5 runs this season but seemed beaten on merit when respectable 3¾ lengths third of 6 to Six Feet Apart in juvenile hurdle at Doncaster (16.6f, good to soft) 29 days ago.

Won her sole outing over hurdles in France and shaped as if better for the run pitched in the deep end on first outing for new yard at Leopardstown 3 weeks ago. Remains open to improvement.

Forecasts

Icare Allen (4/9), White Pepper (9/2), Iberique Du Seuil (10/1), Vadaly (11/1), Un Des Flos (14/1), Ebasari (14/1), Man O Work (16/1), Prairie Dancer (22/1), Celestial Horizon (22/1), Six Feet Apart (28/1)

Verdict

ICARE ALLEN shaped better than the distance beaten suggests in the Grade 1 Spring Juvenile at Leopardstown 3 weeks ago and it's doubtful we've seen the best of him yet, so he has to be considered the one to beat in these calmer waters. Vadaly and Six Feet Apart are a couple of interesting rivals in opposition.
