In Saturday's big races Monkfish proved what a good horse he is winning by 4 lengths. The favourite in the 12.30 Paloma Blue was running well until a mistake at the last saw him weaken and he finished 10th the race was won by the 11/1 shot Impact Factor while at 1.01 Concertista was a winner the 6/4 favourite beat the other strong horse Minella Melody by 1 3/4 lengths.
If you thought Saturday was good then standby because Sunday is an absolute belter at Fairyhouse with no fewer than 4 grade one's on day 2 of the winter festival with a couple of Europe's best horses taking part in the main events. In the Baroneracing.com Drinmore Notice Chase at 1.35 a horse dubbed the most exciting in training Envoi Allen goes for his 11th win in a row. He made it 10 on his fences debut at Down Royal 30 days ago when he put in a superb round of jumping to canter home by 6 lengths and another win is on the cards here,Of the other three in the field there is nothing to beat him although Home By The Lee is two from two over fences this season and definitely has more to show.
At 2.35 7 start the Hatton's Grade Hurdle and here Honeysuckle takes centre stage,she won this race a year ago where she was a comfortable 9 length winner. That was her 6th win in a row and since then she has picked up two more wins her most impressive was at Cheltenham in March where she beat another top mare Benie Des Dieux by 1 1/2 lengths and she should definitely make it 9 out of 9 here on her return. The minor places will be contested by Ronald Pump and Barcadys who renew their rively from the Stayers Hurdle and Fury Road who picked up a good win at Punchestown 2 weeks ago and he should give another good account of himself here but this is Honeysuckle's to loose.
Big race predictions: 1.35: 3: Envoi Allen 2.35: 7: Honeysuckle.
