Green set for Denman challenge

Turpin Green looks set to take on Denman in the Aon Chase at Newbury on Saturday as Nicky Richards plots a return path to the Cheltenham Festival.

Owned by Trevor Hemmings, the nine-year-old belied a price tag of 40-1 when third behind Kauto Star in the totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup last year, leaving connections to mull another crack at the blue riband.
