One horse that towers head and shoulders above his rivals in the County Hurdle is Sharjah. He really does look a class above the others with a non-derogatory nod to his fellow competitors.
The ten-year-old is having his second start in a handicap hurdle and the first one just so happened to be the Galway Hurdle which he lifted in 2018. Trading at 8/1 with most bookmakers, he has to be a really confident each-way punt, especially if you go with one of those paying the extra places.
Also of interest is Anna Bunina who had a nice little warm up for this in a Grade 3 at Punchestown last time. Handicaps are much more her scene and off a mid-range weight and with a claimer on board, I can think of plenty of worse 40/1 shots you could be betting on at The Festival.
Other horses here that look far too big in the betting are Milkwood (25/1) and former Royal Bond scorer Ballyadam (18/1).
