'I fancy she'll do it in March' - Honeysuckle owner has faith in his superstar

Honeysuckle starts out on Sunday on the road to a potentially seismic clash with Constitution Hill in the Champion Hurdle with owner Kenny Alexander declaring his confidence that his unbeaten star will come out on top in March.

The mare makes her eagerly anticipated return to action for her final season at Fairyhouse in the Grade 1 Bar One Racing Hatton’s Grace Hurdle, in which she will be seeking a record-breaking fourth victory.

All routes will eventually lead to the Unibet-sponsored hurdling showpiece at the Cheltenham Festival where Constitution Hill stands between her and a third win in the race for Alexander, trainer Henry de Bromhead and jockey Rachael Blackmore.
