Henry de Bromhead has assembled a powerful troupe of horses for the Dublin Racing Festival and is likely to be represented in all eight Grade 1s, with a favourite’s chance in at least three. The current shortest priced of de Bromhead’s intended runners is the ultra-impressive juvenile Aspire Tower who runs in the Tattersalls Ireland Spring Juvenile Hurdle.

All eyes however will be on his star mare Honeysuckle who will run in the Irish Champion Hurdle and, if she wins, her name will be thrown into the hat for the corresponding race at the Cheltenham Festival.
