Amazing Denman 5-2 For Gold Cup After Heroic Hennessy Win!

Bookmakers William Hill have slashed the odds of a repeat Gold Cup win by Denman to 5-2 from 6-1 after the 2007 Cheltenham winner made it a top-weight triumph in the Hennessy today.
A full recovery of last year’s heart condition was evident with the emotional win, and a repeat of the 2007 tussle against stable-mate Kauto Star now looks firmly on the agenda. William Hill make it a 2/1 chance that both of Paul Nicholls’s runners fill the first two places home in Chasing’s Blue Riband.
Kate Miller, spokeswoman for William Hill, said: ‘’A proper re-match now looks on, and punters will now have a real conundrum which camp to chose. Kauto Star has the small matter of a fourth William Hill King George tilt, but it seems the ‘Clash on Cleeve Hill is on again!’’
The two Paul Nicholls’s runners occupy the top spots in the ante-post betting, although Hills have eased Kauto Star to 2-1 from 7-4. Stable mate What A Friend has been installed as a 25-1 chance after his Hennessy second today.
