JCB Triumph Hurdle winner Zarkandar is among 18 six-day entries for the Matalan Anniversary 4-Y-O Juvenile Hurdle at Aintree on Thursday.

Paul Nicholls' charge, a half-brother to the Arc heroine Zarkava, could be joined in the field by stablemates Brampour and Empire Levant.

Nicky Henderson also has three entries, Triumph Hurdle third Grandouet, A Media Luz and First In The Queue.

Houblon Des Obeaux and Kumbeshwar are other hopes for the home team, while Launchpad, Mister Carter and Plan A could travel from Ireland.
