Stan James are pushing out Denman from 7/4 to 2/1 from 08.30 tomorrow morning Tuesday 13th January for back-to-back wins in the Totesport Gold Cup at Cheltenham in March. Other Festival market moves today saw Zaarito cut from 16s to 14s for the Supreme Novices' Hurdle following victory at Punchestown and Oliver Brady's Ebidayan is now 14s from 25s for the Triumph Hurdle following his Grade 3 success at the same track.
Head of PR Charlie McCann: "If back to the form of his 2008 success then the others are running for place money, but it is a big if given the nature of his problem. Kauto Star showed his well-being at Kempton over Xmas and we greatly respect the chances of Neptune Collonges, Albertas Run, Barbers Shop and Star De Mohaison. Indeed we have cut the last two from 25s to 20s. We will know more after next month's Aon Chase but we are certainly dangling a carrot to antepost punters."
