Having won a Galway Hurdle, a Morgiana Hurdle, finished runner-up in a Cheltenham Champion Hurdle, and now won three Grade 1 Matheson Hurdles at Leopardstown, Sharjah holds claims to being the most undervalued hurdler in training.

Every winning performance seems to be something of a surprise, and yet he continues to deliver the goods for Willie Mullins, Rich Ricci, and Patrick Mullins, who has been on top for four of his biggest successes.
