Constitution Hill and Honeysuckle's top threat? State Man set for Morgiana test
State Man is the favorite to win this year's Morgiana Hurdle. Sharjah is a two-time winner of the race. State Man has only made five starts in his career compared to Sharja's 23. Honeysuckle and Constitution Hill are the main threats. The Willie Mullins-trained Saint Roi won the same race off 137 in 2020. Lorraine O'Sullivan is Patrick Mullin's old ally. She has won on her last two seasonal reappearances. The winner will join Limestone Lad and Hurricane Fly as the only three-times Morgianas winners of modern era.
State Man is the favourite to win the Champion Hurdle. Joe and Marie Donnelly's five-year-old is priced between 7-1 and 10- 1 for this season's race. Paul Townend believes Sharjah will be a good gauge of State Man's ability.
Noel Meade is hoping to have a go with Jesse Evans. Patrick Mullins is confident Sharjah will win the race for the third time. Gordon Elliott is looking forward to getting Teahupoo back in form. . The horse won his first three races last season, but was beaten in the Champion Hurdle. He needs a softer ground. It's possible that the horse will be at his best on a soft ground this time around.
