The only regret from a fabulous two days of the Dublin Racing Festival was wondering just how high the decibels from the stands would have reached when Honeysuckle touched down over the last in the Chanelle Phama Champion Hurdle.

Last year, after she had won, we had a, “will she, won’t she” debate before Honeysuckle was committed to the Mares’ Hurdle but this year the vibe is ‘all systems go’ for a crack at the Champion Hurdle and a match with another mare, the reigning champion Epatante.
