Experienced hurdler for the leading Irish trainer Willie Mullins, who has three in this race. The ten-year-old boasts multiple graded successes in his career and is still running at a good level, finishing second to State Man in the Morgiana Hurdle, third in the Matheson Hurdle as well as fourth in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham last month and second, three lengths to Constitution Hill in Aintree Hurdle earlier this month.
State Man looks a very good favourite and a tough one to beat, so Sharjah is bidding to finish as the best of the rest and his last run against Constitution Hill provides every hope that he can do so.
