Unbeaten mare Honeysuckle will lead a formidable Henry De Bromhead team into battle at the upcoming Dublin Racing Festival.

The local trainer is likely to be represented in each of the eight Grade One events on a star-studded weekend at Leopardstown, with Honeysuckle one of his headline acts.

The daughter of Sulamani is six from six under rules and proved her top-level capabilities when beating the boys, with a brilliant display in the Hatton’s Grace Hurdle at Fairyhouse in December.

Henry has been delighted with his star mare since, and hopes a drop in distance and running on a left-handed track for the first time since winning a point-to-point almost two years ago will not be major issues in the Irish Champion Hurdle.
