Nicky Henderson’s superstar is 6-4  while Silviniaco Conti is the 3-1 second favourite, ahead of the runner-up twelve months ago, Karabak, at 7-2.

“We’re delighted with the field for this year’s Coral Hurdle, with Zaynar bidding to join the list of dual winners that includes greats such as Baracouda and Hardy Eustace, while the eight runners ensures we’ll have a decent each-way betting heat,” Coral’s David Stevens explained to Racingbase.
