21 horses will officially line up for the start of the Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury on Saturday 28th November at 2pm with Denman leading in both the weights and at the bookies. Final declarations were made today reducing the field from 37 potential entrants to just 21 who will compete for the £200,000 winning pot.

Whether or not you think Denman can do it again after his win in 2007, is completely up to you but if you fancy looking at some of the other hopefuls then cast your eye over the current odds with Paddy Power.
