AS if Chacun Pour Soi putting up a towering two-mile chase performance and Energumene putting up something not far off that was not enough, Saturday at Leopardstown also saw Honeysuckle make it a perfect 10 out of 10 over hurdles in the Irish Champion Hurdle, and by 10 lengths too.

This was the mare’s most convincing win yet, and her widest margin of victory in well over a year, and it came at the chief expense of a back-to-form Abacadabras (158), with Sharjah, Saint Roi and the others trailing.
