Racing:Denman could be the star attraction in the Argento Chase at Cheltenham as the Paul Nicholls-trained star features among the 11 six-day entries for Saturday's race.
The 2008 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner put up a staggering weight-carrying performance to win a second Hennessy in November and is due to have one more race before attempting to reclaim the crown off Kauto Star.
Other options for Denman include the Irish Hennessy a week on Sunday and the Aon Chase at Newbury.
Nicholls has also entered stablemates Inchidaly Rock and the long-term absentee Taranis.
Carruthers, an impressive winner last time, Money Trix, runner-up in the Lexus, and Madison du Berlais could provide the sternest opposition of Denman's 10 rivals.
The Nigel Twiston-Davies trio of Ollie Magern, Knowhere and Beat The Boys along with Barbers Shop and Joe Lively complete the field.
