2022 Aintree Hurdle Entries

Gordon Elliott won his first Aintree Hurdle with Abacadabras 12 months ago. Zanahiyr will fly the flag for Elliott this year, having placed in three Grade Ones over two miles so far this season.

Epatante finished a place ahead of Zanahiyr when second to Honeysuckle in the Champion Hurdle and she'll step up in trip for the first time. Nicky Henderson will also throw former winner, Buveur D'Air into the mix.

Olly Murphy will be represented by Brewin'Upastorm, while Tom Lacey runs Betfair Hurdle winner and Champion Hurdle fifth, Glory And Fortune. Monmiral won the juvenile contest on this day 12 months ago, and Harry Cobden could partner Paul Nicholls' five-year-old.

Other notable Grand National Festival entrants include David Pipe's five-year-old Adagio, International Hurdle winner Guard Your Dreams, former Triumph Hurdle winner Quilixios and another Paul Nicholls' runner, McFabulous.
