Willie Mullins's very smart SHARJAH is favoured by these weights so is very hard to oppose despite a rare below-par effort when fourth in the Punchestown Champion Hurdle last time. 2021 victor Sole Pretender appeals most of the rest with Ballinrobe runner-up Cash Back and C&D winner Shanroe set to fight it out for minor honours.
