I have little hesitation siding with Denman in the Guinness Gold Cup at Punchestown today.

DENMAN is “virtually certain” to run in next month’s Coral Scottish Grand National at Ayr if conditions are deemed suitable.

WELL, the moment of truth has finally arrived and at Down Royal today we will find out if Kauto Star is back to his best.

IT looks as if Listowel is going to finally beat the weather today and it is great to think we are now set to have five days of National Hunt action, which is a fair old salvage operation.

MICHAEL Hourigan believes Mossbank will be a different proposition next season.

Kauto Star has been installed as the 5-6 favourite by Coral for Saturday’s Betfair Chase at Haydock, a race he won last year en route to a million pound bonus.

SAM Thomas has been confirmed as the jockey for Kauto Star in the Betfair Chase at Haydock this Saturday.
