Having given the likes of Dalton Highway (won this last year) and De Name Escapes Me too much rope last time at the Curragh, the classy hurdler SHARJAH finished to good effect in fourth. Patrick Mullins takes over here and his mount can reverse that form. His father has a strong team; with Great White Shark and Tiger Tap Tap much-respected in a very open contest where Princess Zoe, Dalileo and Run For Mary all merit some consideration.
