Verdict

SHARJAH's 2 efforts this year suggest he may not be quite up to it at Grade 1 level nowadays but he's still really smart and should take a bit of stopping with his sights lowered. Gordon Elliott pair Fil Dor, who returns to hurdles after a slightly disappointing run at the recent Dublin Racing Festival, and Doctor Bravo can give him most to think about.
