The unbeaten HONEYSUCKLE returns for her seasonal debut. The daughter of Sulamani should be too strong for her four rivals following on from her Grade 1 victory over C&D in April. Mister Blue Sky, the mount of jockey Paul Townend can emerge as the biggest danger to the mare. The five-year-old has a couple of gallant Grade 2 and Grade 1 efforts to his name in the spring and can compete with stablemate Easy Game for remaining prize money.
