Yes I think it's pretty clear that Denman won't be running to 185 this year (if he lines up), but it is also pretty clear he'll run better than 160.

"I don't know if we have the time to get him back to that level, and it might be that he'll run a nice race in the Gold Cup and another summer off will get him back to how he was."

175 would normally be good enough and he seems hopeful he can get him back to that sort of level. At the moment he of course favours Kauto - but I don't particularly like that one in this race (despite him already managing a victory and a runner-up spot). Having said that hard to know what to back against them, MdB and Neptune are plausible but not compelling.
