Zarkandar: Will run in rescheduled race and set to be joined by two stablemates
Brampour tops 21 six-day acceptors for the rearranged Betfair Hurdle at Newbury on Friday with only three defections from the original list.
The race retains its orginal prize-money and is still the richest handicap hurdle in Europe and only Ubi Ace, Orzare and Attaglance are missing from the initial entry last week.
Paul Nicholls, trainer of Brampour, has confirmed that favourite Zarkandar will run next week and Empire Levant is expected to be a third representative for the champion trainer.
Nicky Henderson is also likely to have three runners with Darlan, Soldatino and Ericht.
