FormscanBy Alan Magee - ICARE ALLEN won a Leopardstown maiden at Christmas and also easily landed a Grade 3 over this C%26D. In between the selection found Grade 1 company a little too hot but still ran with plenty of credit twice behind Vauban at both Leopardstown and Cheltenham. He holds Lunar Power on running in the Triumph Hurdle and this looks a good opportunity to regain the winning thread. Lunar Power had Britzka behind when the pair filled minor places behind Fil Dor in a Grade 2 at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting, while Cork maiden winner Iberique Du Seuil kept on well from off the pace in the Boodles Handicap at Cheltenham. Garrybello won both completed starts in French juvenile hurdles and it will be interesting to see if there is any market support for Tom Cooper’s charge.
