Place lay.
There is no way you can have made a calculated decision on this before you even see the definite runners
Personally I think his competition is irrelevant. I think he’ll be exhausted and struggle, so on that basis the value is a place lay.
His chances would depend a lot on the ground,I like seeing horses with his rating in handicaps.
If you go to back a certainty always buy a return ticket.
Does Paul Nicholls every speak the truth?
Last week he was going to Punchestown
And the week before that he was going to the Aintree Bowl….and the one before that he wasn’t going to run again!
He does confuse me a little when he’s talking about Denman’s plans thats for sure
Fist will be right.
I’ll back it to win, so long as the going is on the easy side of good. Anything rated 150 or so or less will be out of the handicap.
The Scottish National is a far more sensible option than the Mildmay course or the talk last year of running in France.

I beg to differ.
Denman would face a much more straightforward task over 3m5f at Auteuil off level-weights, than he would giving 2-stone to everything at Ayr over 4m.
He would also collect about £150K more in prize-money for winning the Grande-Steeplechase de Paris.
It’s a no-brainer as far as I can see.

Grassy realising Gerald has a fragile personality, and has to be treated with kid gloves.
The Scottish National can often be won by horses that run up with the pace and with Aintree,Ayr,Fairyhouse,Cheltenham,Perth,Sandown and Punchestown all having huge festivals and three day meetings their will be not enough horses so Denman could easily win and try and do what Grey Abbey did a few years ago.
The Scottish race would suit him a lot although the Whitbread could be a better race as he would be a joy to see going down the Sandown back stretch attacking those fences.

A few/several/many/most/I thought that before the Hennessy
Aggressive campaigning of a horse built like the proverbial brick shythouse.
Applause and a slap on the shoulders to connections
Bring it on
Denman proved he’s still one of the best chasers around coming second in the GC and answered his many critics at the same time, wherever he goes he’s a major candidate to win…I think a marathon trip might well suit.
The King of Ante-Post will say this only once! If Denman runs off a mark of 182,he carrys 11-12lb,that would put
Halcon Genelardais
in on 10-00lb and 4lb out of the handicap! Who finished 4th to Denman in the 08 Gold Cup off levels,and himself carried 11-12 to finish a gallant 2nd in the Scottish National?
