The first of two Grade Twos on William Hill Handicap Hurdle day at Newbury is the Denman Chase. This three-mile chase is named after a former winner of the Cheltenham Gold Cup and it's Denman's former trainer, Paul Nicholls' who will saddle the favourite ahead of Saturday's renewal.

Here's a look through the current Denman Chase betting and a rundown of the most likely runners.

2025 Denman Chase Entries


Bravemansgame heads the market for this year's Denman Chase. Paul Nicholls' ten-year-old hasn't won a race since claiming King George glory in 2022. Harry Cobden's mount - who is three-from-three around Newbury - will likely run in this Grade Two before heading on to the Grand National at Aintree.

Venetia Williams' Peterborough Chase winner Djelo could line up in opposition, despite a lengthy defeat to Protektorat on his first start beyond two-and-a-half miles at Windsor. Jamie Snowden could also step Ga Law up in trip, having found two-and-a-half too sharp on his last outing in the December Gold Cup.

Le Patron began this season with an impressive handicap victory here at Newbury and Gary Moore's former Grade One winner is unexposed over staying distances. As is Richard Hobson's Fugitif, who was last seen placing third at Cheltenham as he attempted to retain his December Gold Cup crown.

Paul Nicholls has also handed an entry to Hitman, but could wait until Ascot Chase day to run his nine-year-old. Eldorado Allen, who beat Hitman to win this race in 2022, is a likely runner for Joe Tizzard. Fellow veteran, Sam Brown completes the early betting.
