Hennessy Gold Cup 2009 Final Declarations

The final declarations for the 2009 Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury have been announced today and the field has been further reduced from the previous 37 entrants down to just 21 who will officially line up on Saturday, November 28th at 2pm to compete for the record jackpot of £200,000!

It should come as no surprise that previous winner Denman leads the weights as well as being the bookies favourites at 4/1. Sam Thomas, who rode Denman to that 2007 victory, now partners second favourite What A Friend who also happens to be joint-owned by Manchester United’s manager Sir Alex Ferguson so he could also be worth a punt, but if you think it’s not that straightforward and that maybe another horse has a serious chance of taking the title then check out Paddy Power Bookmakers odds below…
