De Bromhead: 'Honey's been there and done it all, she's stood the test of time'

Honeysuckle is unbeaten in 17 races and is trying to win the Champion Hurdle for the fourth time at Fairyhouse on Sunday. De Bromhead is aware of the young horses like Constitution Hill and State Man. Willie Mullins said that Honey's is a huge price at 4-1 to take the title.  De Brom head is not pushing his horses to the limit. He will see on the day if they are any better or worse than last season. The trainer is happy with Honey's schooling. She was brilliant. Rachael was delighted with her. Honesuckle will be back at Hatton's Grace HURDLE.

Johnny Dineen joins the Racing Post roster for a weekly Saturday column throughout the jumps season. He will offer a guide to the weekend action, highlight the key horses and races to watch and share his punting wisdom.
