ZANAHIYR finished a place behind runner-up Epatante in the Champion Hurdle but promises to be much better suited by this half-mile longer trip than Nicky Henderson's speedy mare so gets the nod in a fascinating Aintree Hurdle. The cheekpieces which suited Gordon Elliott's consistent 5-y-o at Cheltenham are again sported here too for last year's winning connections. Brewin'upastorm appeals as the pick of the remainder for minor honours just ahead of Glory And Fortune.
