Going - Hurdle - Soft to Heavy Chase - Soft. Overcast and showery

Formscan By Eamonn Murphy - Last year’s winner HONEYSUCKLE is taken on by Willie Mullins’ three, and Gordon Elliott’s pair, Abacadabras, and the 2020 bronze medallist, Petit Mouchoir. If you’ve been inclined to take on Honeysuckle, she’s teased you a few times, flirting with defeat recently, getting home by narrow margins. This observer was of a mind to be in the ‘lay’ camp when it comes to the unbeaten Sulamani mare on this occasion, but not now on a surface forecast to be soft to heavy. She obviously stays a lot further than two miles. This trip on testing terrain though, might be an ideal assignment for the seven-year-old. Sharjah didn’t bring his best to the table when sixth here in 2020. It’ll be a surprise if better isn’t forthcoming from the course and distance specialist now, off his Matheson Hurdle win. All the others have their work cut out to turn the tables with Sharjah on that form. In fairness to Abacadabras he scoped bad after that outing, and he’s reportedly been pleasing in his home work lately.
