Racing:Denman could face up to 19 opponents in his attempt to record an historic third win in the Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury on Saturday.
Champion trainer Paul Nicholls still has four other options for the race with Neptune Collonges, Taranis, The Tother One and Niche Market all standing their ground.
Former winner Madison Du Berlais creeps into the handicap proper on 10-1 but leading fancies Weird Al, Diamond Harry, Burton Port and Pandorama will all be out of the weights.
Other notable entries that have stood their ground include Big Fella Thanks, China Rock and Carruthers.
