It’s going to take a Gold Cup horse to beat Denman

WITH the Fighting Fifth Hurdle being moved to Newbury, we have a proper day’s racing.

The opening novice hurdle doesn’t look a great race and for some reason, they put an amateur riders’ handicap chase on the programme, but other than that it’s quality.

Denman is looking to make history by lumping top weight to victory in the Hennessy Gold Cup for the third time in four years.
