HONEYSUCKLE could be a regular feature in this column based on what she has already achieved in her short and unbeaten career which numbers just seven starts to date. Bred by Dr Geoffrey Guy at The Glanvilles Stud in Sherborne, Dorset, Honeysuckle is a five-year-old mare who sold in part two of the Derby Sale in 2017 for €9,500 to Mark O’Hare. She won her only start in a point-to-point by 15 lengths with O’Hare in the saddle.

A week later at the Goffs Punchestown Sale she made a favourable impression on Peter Molony of Rathmore Stud who gave €110,000 to secure her from Jerry Cosgrave’s Shanrod Stables.
