HONEYSUCKLE can successfully defend her crown in the Unibet Champion Hurdle (3.30pm), the feature on the opening day of the 2022 Cheltenham Festival.
County Waterford handler Henry De Bromhead’s star mare was victorious in the Grade One contest on day one last year, helping Rachael Blackmore become the first female jockey to win the Champion Hurdle – and start off a spectacular month for the Tipperary-born rider.
And they can bring up back-to-back victories back at Prestbury Park.
