Den one of ten for Newbury

Denman is likely to face a small field in his final run before the Cheltenham Gold Cup as only 10 entries were received for the Aon Chase at Newbury on Saturday.

Paul Nicholls has also entered Kauto Star in the three-mile event, a race the Gold Cup winner won 12 months ago. However, his preferred target remains the Commercial First Chase at Ascot a week later.
