Formscan By Donal Murphy - At the age of 10, top-class hurdler SHARJAH is undoubtedly a late recruit to fences, but he still stands out a mile here and will prove hard to beat. The great Faugheen, for the same connections, had a similar profile when tackling racecourse fences for the first time at the age of 11, a move that ultimately proved very successful. A six-time winner at the highest level, the selection has reportedly 'schooled fantastically' and could yet add to his Grade 1 tally before the season is out. With a rating of 131, Mars Harper also stands out as the clear danger. He is without a win from seven starts over fences but has put in some fine efforts in defeat, finishing second in a Grade 2 at Punchestown in November. Walnut Beach has been running well of late and can challenge for minor honours.
