Denman the one to beat in Hennessy Gold Cup Odds

Former Cheltenham Gold Cup winner and runner up in this year’s renewal of the race, Denman heads the betting odds for the 2009 Hennessy Gold Cup Chase at Newbury on Saturday, 28th November. The Paul Nicholls trained chaser won this very race two years ago off top weight and the bookies obviosuly believe that he can repeat that performance carrying the same 11st 12lb around the Berkshire track, which he did in some style, winning by an impressive 11 lengths in 2007.

Since then, he has gone on to prove that he is amongst an elite band of styaing chasers, winning the Gold Cup in 2008 before finsihing second to stablemate and possibly the only horse better than him, Kauto Star. The biggest question mark that Denman must answer is that he is well over the heart problems that put him out of action for the majority of last season. However, noise from his owner Harry Findlay suggest that is very much the case and his supporters can expect a return to the Denman we saw demolish the Hennessy field in two years ago in 2009/10.

The best odds quote of 4/1 (Paddy Power) about Demnam is short enough and bookmakers aren’t taking any chances but if he is on song, he will take all the beating, depsite there beign several promising chasers also in the field. None moreso than another Paul Nicholls trained runner, What a Friend. The Sir Alex Ferguson owned runner is set to make his seasonal debut follwoing a very promising Novice campaign last season., he looks a horse vey much on the ugrade and is sure to make his presence felt if Denman puts a foot wrong. The Queens horse, Barbers Shop, is another one that poses a big danger to Denman whilst winner of this race in 2006, State of Play, runs of just 3lb more than what he carried three years ago and at 16/1 makes cracking each way appeal.
