Denman De Man For Sun Alliance Hurdle Backers

Published at

Paul Nicholl´s hot favourite for the Royal and Sun Alliance Hurdle opener on Wednesday is getting hotter and hotter and Denman is now the Even money market leader with Hills.

With close rival Black Jack Ketchum also holding an entry in the Brit Insurance Hurdle (for which he is Evs fav from 11-8 today), confidence is growing in the stanjamesuk.com Challow Hurdle winner. French raider Zaiyad has been promoted to second favourite at 11-2 today, trimmed up from 8´s.

In other moves, Baracouda may have missed out to Iris´s Gift and Inglis Drever in the last two runnings of the Ladbrokes World Hurdle, but the dual winner is favourite to regain his crown having been backed from 9-2 to 7-2f today. The other big gamble of the day has been on the Byrne Bros Festival Sprint where greyhound Skidrow Joe has been the hot dog, now favourite for the 3rd semi-final and 7-1 from 9 for the outright title.
