Following a sensational victory in the Unicoin Homes Relkeel Hurdle at Cheltenham on Saturday, Ladbrokes make Zaynar the new 5/1 favourite for the Champion Hurdle in March.
Meanwhile, Khyber Kim has been cut into 12/1 by totesport for the same race after seeing off the challenge of both Celestial Halo and Punjabi when winning the Boylesports International earlier on the card.
“The betting for the Champion Hurdle had looked messier than ever after Khyber Kim’s victory but Zaynar has just edged to the head of the market after a faultless performance in the Relkeel Hurdle and currently looks the one they have to beat at the Festival,” said totesport spokesman George Primarolo.
Hurricane Fly remains Paddy Power‘s second favourite at 11/2, Binocular can be backed at the same price with Skybet whilst Celestial Halo is out to 10/1 with Betfred.
