Pitman expecting big show from Dempsey

Queen Mother Champion Chase hopeful Dempsey is in great form ahead of his tilt at the two-mile championship next month.

The Mark Pitman-trained eight-year-old, a general 33-1 chance for the Cheltenham feature, has improved through the handicap ranks this term and produced a career-best effort latest when second in the Victor Chandler Chase under top weight.
