Honeysuckle remained unbeaten at the Cheltenham Festival, defeating Epatante and Zanahiyr to record her 15th victory on the bounce. Henry De Bromhead's mare won this race easily 12 months ago and Honeysuckle is long odds-on to defend her crown.

Epatante built on that runner-up finish at Cheltenham by winning the Aintree Hurdle and she could return to Ireland to have another crack at the favourite. Saint Roi has finished fourth behind Honeysuckle three times in his last four starts and he currently sits third in the betting.

Teahupoo will be looking to bounce back after a disappointing run in the Champion Hurdle. As will Zanahiyr, who fell at the final flight when attempting to hold off Epatante in the Aintree Hurdle last time out.

Other possible Punchestown Festival runners include David Pipe's Adagio, Mares' Hurdle fifth Echoes In Rain, Paul Nicholls' Monmiral and recent Fairyhouse winner Darasso.
