Nigel Twiston-Davies, feels that his charge is being underestimated.

While speaking on At The Races, the Gloucestershire handler, said: ‘Quite a lot of the others seem to be shooting themselves in the foot. His [Khyber Kim’s] form with Celestial Halo is pretty good, he murdered him at Liverpool last season and he must have a very good chance. He has been totally overlooked, which I don’t mind at all, but you wait and see him on the day and he will be in good form.’

Khyber Kim has run just once this season, finishing 13 lengths fourth to current champion hurdler, and generally favourite for this year’s renewal, Binocular in the CLadbrokes World Hurdle at the Festival on March 17. Paul Nicholls’ charge just failed to see of Mille Chief in the Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton on his penultimate start and recently made little mistake in going one better in the National Spirit at Fontwell.
