Racing:Ante-post favourite Denman heads 37 remaining entries in Saturday's renewal of the historic Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury.
A winner of the prestigious handicap two seasons ago, the presence of Paul Nicholls' 2008 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner means only a maximum of 17 of those left will be racing off their correct weight.
Denman is scheduled to carry 11st 12lb, with Joe Lively next on 11st.
Venetia Williams' Grand National winner Mon Mome (10st 13lb), the Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained Roll Along and My Will (10st 9lb), a stablemate of Denman, are next in line.
The Queen's Barbers Shop (10st 8lb), Howard Johnson's Killyglen (10st 6lb) and another former Gold Cup winner, Mouse Morris' War Of Attrition (10st 6lb), are among a host who look attractively handicapped.
There were no major withdrawals, but Tim Vaughan has decided against letting new arrival Atouchbetweenacara take his chance.
Other possibles include Noel Meade's Casey Jones, Nicholls' What A Friend, Chelsea Harbour, the Evan Williams pair of Cappa Bleu and State Of Play and Irish National winner Niche Market.
