PUNTERS SHUN DENMAN

Denman is drifting both with the bookies and on the exchanges ahead of the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

The reigning champion has been pushed out to 7/1 (from 5/1) by Ladbrokes and has lost his position as second favourite to stablemate Neptune Collonges (6/1).

And it's a similar story on Betfair where Denman is available to back at around the 8/1 mark.

Ladbrokes report a near total lack of betting interest in him as he seeks to land back-to-back wins.

Their spokesman David Williams said: "We've barely laid a bean on him since his reappearance at Kempton. It's a far cry from the Denmania of this time last year.

"Of the three Nicholls superstars Denman is currently the least popular.

"After his win last March nobody could have imagined him being only the third favourite in the betting, but his run at Kempton coupled with mixed reports from the camp have combined to scare punters off."
