Denman Set For Cheltenham Spin Denman, ante-post favourite in most lists for the Royal & SunAlliance Chase, is set to defend his unbeaten record over fences at Cheltenham tomorrow.The move represents a change of plan by trainer Paul Nicholls who is relying on forecast overnight rain to make conditions suitable for his talented gelding.Denman was not over-impressive when scoring at Exeter but Nicholls expects the six-year-old to have come on for the run.He said: 'He takes a fair bit of work and will improve for each race.'I'm keen to get another run into him and the experience with it. Rain is forecast for Friday night and if that happens he could well run.'(C) PA Sport
