With his stable in top form, Sharjah will be fancied to add to this season's victories at Bath and Hamilton though both came on faster ground than he'll face today. Helen Mooney was on board when ZEFTAN (NAP) won the Ladies' Derby at the Curragh by nine lengths. The handicapper hasn't overreacted with a 6lb rise and in that sort of form Adrian Keatley's charge should have no problems following up. No Cash Flow is a winning bumper whose stamina should come into play while Caridadi has been alternating between the Flat and over hurdles and has shown a reasonable level of form under both codes. Placere hasn't won for almost two years and has been unable to take advantage of a falling handicap mark.
