Rebel attracts significant Hennessy support
Both Ladbrokes and William Hill now have the Paul Nicholls-trained runner as an 8-1 chance from 14-1 following the news that his stablemate and ante-post favourite Star De Mohaison will not run.
With Ruby Walsh booked for the top weight, punters are throwing their cash behind Cornish Rebel, who finished third in the race 12 months ago.
