It was an excellent Sunday at Leopardstown with both my picks winning. In the 1.50 Chacun Pour Soi travelled strongly to lead at the 6th. He faced a challenge 3 out but went clear before the last. He kept on well on the run-in easily beating Dunvegan by 12 lengths. In the 3.00 Honeysuckle made it 14 wins in a row. She led from 2 out easing clear at the home turn. She kept on strongly to win by 6 1/2 lengths giving her a 10th Grade 1. She is now the 4/7 favourite to retain her Champion Hurdle crown at Cheltenham.
After an exciting weekend Irish racing takes a 2 day break. There are meetings at Carlisle, Fontwell and Wolverhampton on Monday with Market Rasen,Taunton and Southwell on Tuesday all for your entertainment. The next Irish card is at Fairyhouse on Wednesday my preview of that will be up on Tuesday night.
