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.
