HENRY De Bromhead has revealed Honeysuckle could swerve a clash with Constitution Hill in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham and instead run in the Mares’ Hurdle in March.
The two-time Champion Hurdle winner lost her unbeaten record in the Hatton’s Grace Hurdle at Fairyhouse last Sunday — finishing a brave third behind Teauphoo and Klassical Dream.
It was her first defeat in 17 races and the Waterford-based trainer has now suggested a return to the Mares’ Hurdle - a race she won in 2020 - could be back on the agenda.
