Hatton's Grace winner Honeysuckle is set to skip the Christmas action as trainer Henry De Bromhead is instead planning an alternative route to the Mares Hurdle in Cheltenham.
The five year old daughter of Sulamani beat Bacardys by nine lengths to claim her second Grade 1 race, her first in open company.
De Bromhead said "Honeysuckle seems good and while we haven't really discussed immediate plans for her, the Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham is her main target.
"It is 99% likely she will skip Christmas and there are three possible races for her in the new year. She could run in either the Irish Champion Hurdle, the Red Mills Hurdle at Gowran or else there is a Mares' Graded Hurdle at Punchestown but that is very close to Cheltenham. We will make a decision closer to the time."
