HONEYSUCKLE has plenty in her favour and the mare is taken to record back-to-back Grade 1 wins after an impressive success at Fairyhouse when last seen. The more the ground dries out, the better chance Sharjah will have and he came on markedly for his reappearance when winning over course and distance last time out. Supersundae is a threat if retaining all of his ability.
