Leopardstown
15:10 - Honeysuckle 9/4 1pt win
This brilliant mare has only been beaten once in her career and that was last time out behind Teahupoo at Fairyhouse. Although that was a dissapointing run, HONEYSUCKLE has showed significant improvement for her first start each season and I expect she will do the same today. Although this is a strong renewal with upcoming talents in State Man and Vauban to beat, I think the mare has the class to dispatch them and could really take the sting out of their finishing effort if Rachael can kick on like usual at the business end. Her odds seems disrespectful at over 2/1.

14:55 - Abuffalosoldier 11/4 1pt win
Warren Greatex’s charge has showed another level of form since stepping up to 3 miles and I think ABUFFALOSOLDIER can continue on the up today. He won on his first try at the trip at Newbury and the 2nd, Steal a March has gone on to win since. He then went on to Cheltenham and ran a creditable 3rd in a race which has worked out well with future winners down the field. Connections will be hoping they can get a run in the Pertemps at the Festival so winning the qualifier today is important, as trends suggests he won’t get in off his current mark of 127.
