No need to oppose Denman

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

He came right back to something approaching his best in the Cheltenham Gold Cup and there’s every chance he could be even better now.

I know, from talking to Paul Nicholls, he looks better than he did before Cheltenham and lots of sunshine of late appears to have brought him on. He is currently doing things right at home and there are no worries regarding his ability to travel, having won a Lexus at Leopardstown.
