1.50 Leopardstown

A fascinating renewal of the Deloitte with the exciting Samcro bidding to preserve his perfect record for Gordon Elliott en route to the Cheltenham Festival. There is no doubt he has looked impressive in all starts to date and could be very special but SHARJAH (best price 4-1) is a horse full of potential himself and could easily spring a shock for a red-hot Willie Mullins. The yard had a four-timer yesterday and have some good chances again today. He won his first two starts in heavy ground before coming down here at Christmas. He was travelling best before falling at the last and looked as if he would have won comfortably. At 4/1 he rates the one to be with in a race that could be full of Festival clues.

Sharjah - 1pt @ 4/1
