Diamond Harry has been given a quote of 8/1 for the totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup by the sponsors after producing an impressive performance in the Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury this afternoon.

Diamond Harry Wins Hennessy Gold Cup

Nick Williams’ gelding travelled supremely well under Daryl Jacobs and fought hard to repel the late challenge of Burton Port who is now a 12/1 shot (from 25/1) for Cheltenham. Denman couldn’t manage to concede two stone to his rivals but still put up an admirable effort in third and remains 10/1 to win his second Gold Cup.

‘Diamond Harry’s Hennessy performance puts him bang in the reckoning for this season’s Gold Cup though Denman’s connections will be delighted with his run and will fancy their chances of taking on the winner at level weights,’ said totesport spokesman George Primarolo.

Earlier on the card, Peddlers Cross continued his rise up the hurdling ranks with a smooth victory in the rearranged Fighting Fifth and is now a 6/1 shot (from 12/1) with totesport for the Champion Hurdle. Runner-up Starluck has been cut to 20/1 (from 33/1) whilst Binocular has been eased at the head of the market to 7/2 (from 11/4).

Big Buck’s showed himself to be as good as ever when winning the Long Distance Hurdle and has consolidated his position at the head of the market for the World Hurdle. totesport now make the reigning champion the 4/6 favourite (from 4/5).
