The Denman Grand national odds shortened considerably when it was confirmed that he will be entered for the race at the weekend. The plan it seems is to defend his Cheltenham Gold cup crown in March and then got for the National just three weeks later. Part owner, Paul Findlay has never made any secret of the fact that he would like Denman to compete in the worlds toughest race, believing that at age 9 years old he will be at his peak and at an age when he has the best chance. It is hard to believe that the Paul Nicholls stable is contemplating the National, particularly as Denman underwent an operation to rectify a heart mummer detected at the end of last season. By all accounts he has fully recovered from that setback and is raring to race again. His seasonal reappearance will be the Aon Chase at Newbury next month.

Other than the legendary Golden Miller, 75 years ago, no horse has ever gone on to win the National after winning the Gold Cup, Master Oats was the last to try in 1995, but he managed to finish only in seventh place when carrying top weight.
The decision of the handicappers to lower the top weight fro the Aintree race has also helped Denman's connections make up their mind to run him. If he runs no matter what he will be carrying top weight of 11st 10lb. Connections should be aware that no horse has won the National carrying more than 11st 1lb in the past 25 years. With the announcement that Denman will run, the national Antepost market changed considerably with Denman now priced around 8/1 with Coral from 16/1.
8/1 Denman, 14/1 Comply Or Die, 16/1 Hear The Echo,20/1 Butlers Cabin, Black Apalachi, Snowy Morning, 25/1 Character Building, 33/1 bar.
