Leopardstown on Sunday: Newsboy's top tips and runners for every race on day two

Unbeaten superstar Honeysuckle is poised to make history on day two of the Dublin Racing Festival

The Chanelle Pharma Irish Champion Hurdle (3.00), a race she has won for the past two years, comes next on her agenda.

Another win would put her level with hat-trick heroes Istabraq and Hurricane Fly on the roll of honour.

No horse has taken their first 14 races over hurdles either – and Honeysuckle would surpass Bula if she crosses the line in front once again.

Rachael Blackmore, who has set plenty of records of her own, rides the Henry de Bromhead-trained mare.

Willie Mullins, who had a 234-1 four-timer on day one of the meeting, has several short-priced favourites.

The Grade 1 action begins with Galopin Des Champs in the Ladbrokes Novice Chase (1.20).

Chacun Pour Soi heads the betting for the Ladbrokes Dublin Chase (1.50) and later Sir Gerhard is popular with punters in the Tattersalls Ireland Novice Hurdle (3.35).

1.20 – Ladbrokes Novice Chase (Grade 1)

1 Beacon Edge

2 Capodanno

3 Figher Allen

4 French Dynamite

5 Fury Road

6 Gaillard Du Mesnil

7 Galopin Des Champs

8 Master Mcshee

NEWSBOY'S TIP: GALOPIN DES CHAMPS made chasing look easy on his debut and is well up to winning this.

1.50 – Ladbrokes Dublin Chase (Grade 1)

1 Captain Guinness

2 Cash Back

3 Chacun Pour Soi

4 Dunvegan

5 Greaneteen

NEWSBOY'S TIP: Chacun Pour Soi faces a stern rival in Tingle Creek Chase hero GREANETEEN, for whom decent ground in Foxrock is a definite plus.

2.25 – Bulmers Secret Orchard Leopardstown Handicap Chase

1 Minella Times

2 Blackbow

3 The Shunter

4 Annamix

5 Samcro

6 Spyglass Hill

7 Gallant John Joe

10 Fan De Blues

11 Rebel Gold

12 Fakir D'Alene

13 Definite Plan

14 Foxy Jacks

15 Mortal

16 Winter Escape

17 Birchdale

NEWSBOY'S TIP: THE SHUNTER is trusted to put up a bold show. A good fourth in a handicap chase at Galway, he has had a six month break but has the form to figure.

3.00 – Chanelle Pharma Irish Champion Hurdle (Grade 1)

1 Saint Roi

2 Zanahiyr

3 Echoes In Rain

4 Heaven Help Us

5 Honeysuckle

NEWSBOY'S TIP: HONEYSUCKLE cannot sensibly be opposed as she seeks a third straight victory in this race. Henry de Bromhead’s mare now boasts an unbeaten record of 13 - and it will rank as the shock of the meeting if her colours are lowered for the first time.

3.35 – Tattersalls Ireland Novice Hurdle (Grade 1)

1 Colonel Mustard

2 El Fabiolo

3 Farout

4 Gatsby Grey

5 My Mate Mozzie

6 Sir Gerhard

7 Three Stripe Life

8 Watch House Cross

9 Statuaire

NEWSBOY'S TIP: THREE STRIPE LIFE can topple favourite Sir Gerhard. The selection sets a good standard on his second to Gordon Elliott stablemate Mighty Potter here over Christmas.

1 Arcadian Sunrise

2 Ballyadam

3 Eskylane

27 Carrarea

28 Future Proof

29 Never Do Nothing

30 Charlie Stout

31 Clarens

NEWSBOY'S TIP: IN FROM THE COLD has each-way claims on his handicap debut over hurdles, following his fourth to Teahupoo in a Grade 2 event. Improving sort Carrarea is a must for every shortlist.

NEWSBOY'S TIP: PINK IN THE PARK showed a smart turn of foot on debut and is one of a number of quality bumper performers from her yard this season. That came on similar going and in an 18-runner field too.
