Zanahiyr looked a potential star at Fairyhouse in November where he clocked some good sectionals, and the form of that race has worked out well.

I liked how he extended away to win the Adonis last time. I feel there could be much more to come and hope that Cheltenham on good to soft ground brings out the best in him.

He looks a future star and by far the best of the home team - and he might be better than the Irish too. High-class on the Flat, he has switched seamlessly to hurdling.
