Honeybrunch has had plenty of chances but hasn't been beaten far behind better opposition in her two latest starts. Ten Times Better finished in front of her when runner-up to Bonny Kate at Punchestown and was made favourite on her next start at Fairyhouse but she didn't act in the heavy ground - providing the rain stays away she has to be a threat to all. KALA BRANDY had performed with credit over hurdles so it was a surprise when she reverted to a bumper at Thurles but she ran well to chase home Honeys Joy and can go one better. Listen Dear, runner-up in a point at Largy in May, started favourite for her next start in a Thurles bumper in January but looked very one-paced.
