Nicholls: Denman looks great

Paul Nicholls believes Denman is in the same kind of shape ahead of the Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury as he was when he took the historic prize two years ago.

The nine-year-old announced himself as a player at the highest level by lumping top weight to victory in a season that saw him go on to dethrone stablemate Kauto Star in the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
