SHARJAH has come very late to chasing but the six-times Grade 1 winning hurdler jumped really well and won easily on his chasing bow at Galway and can take this. Watch House Cross had Senecia almost four lengths behind at Wexford though the latter will be 10lb better off but Time To Rocco hasn't convinced since a winning debut over fences at Tramore. Captain Conby was very impressive on his chasing bow at Killarney and should win plenty of races over fences.
