Newbury, Friday
Betfair Denman Chase (Grade 2) 3m 4yo+
Quote:
HE GAVE his supporters a bit of a fright, but Long Run got the job done and got off the mark for the season in narrowly holding Burton Port, who was closing his stablemate downall the way up the run-in to only finish half a length down at the line.
The Nicky Henderson-trained Gold Cup winner did his chances at Cheltenham next month no harm with a solid enough round of jumping, while the second, getting 10lbfrom Long Run, improved his prospects for the big one in running really well on his reappearance.

Betfair Hurdle (Grade 2) 2m, 4yo+
Quote:
ZARKANDAR, having his first start of the season, powered to the front inside the final furlong to stake his claim for the Stan James Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham next month.
The Paul Nicholls-trained five-year-old, who won the JCB Triumph Hurdle at last year's festival, is now as short as 5-1 for the 2m contest.
Tony McCoy took a crashing fall two out when travelling well aboard Darlan but thankfully, the 16-time champion jockey walked away unscathed
