Verdict

The winning machine that is HONEYSUCKLE landed back-to-back successes in the Hatton's Grace on her reappearance and can now double up in this race and take her record to a perfect 10-10. Sharjah failed to fire in this last year but he arrives on the back of a third successive win in the Matheson and is capable of giving Henry de Bromhead's mare a fight if anywhere near his best.
