FormscanBy Alan Magee - IGRAINE was a useful Flat handicapper last year winning over 1m5f at Leopardstown and showed the benefit of her hurdle debut when third to The Tide Turns and HMS Seahorse (entered in the previous race) at Punchestown last month. The winner did the form no harm when fourth in the Grade 1 at Leopardstown last Saturday, and cheek pieces the selection wore regularly on the Flat are now applied for the first time over hurdles. Heia won a 1m4f French bumper on debut and weakened in the straight on her only outing since when fourth to Howyabud in a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Leopardstown over Christmas. This step back in trip should suit her well. Yenedon showed some promise when keeping on over 2m4f here last time, while Cool Rain should be able to win a handicap off her current mark.
