Saturday's selection Buddy Rich was 4th. The 5/2 favourite was in midfield early making headway to sit 4th 3 out. He travelled well moving up to 3rd after the last,he dropped to 4th inside the final furlong offering no extra. The 3/1 shot Dunvegan won beating Grange Walk by a length.
Fairyhouse rounds off it's two days with 8 races on Sunday including 3 Grade One's, the highlight of those is at 2.40 when 10 begin the Baroneracing.com Hatton's Grace Hurdle. It's hard to look past Honeysuckle here who is unbeaten in 12 starts winning this race,the Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown, the corresponding race at Cheltenham and the Paddy Power at Punchestown last season. She is the best hurdler around and should win her 8th consecutive Grade 1. Saldier is a high-class hurdler who didn't need to be at his best to win the Grade 3 Horse & Jockey Hotel Hurdle at Tipperary 56 days ago. He beat another in this field Darasso by 3 lengths and going back up in trip here means he will be one to challenge for the minor places. The other shortlisted is Abacadabras who looks to make his return after being a non-runner in the Morgiana Hurdle last month. He was a respectable 4th to Honeysuckle in the Punchestown Champion Hurdle when last seen in April. Returning after nearly 200 days means he shouldn’t trouble the favourite but he will still go well.
Big race prediction: 8: Honeysuckle.
