The Hennessy Gold Cup is a key early season trial for the Cheltenham Gold Cup with the race at Newbury taking place during the latter part of November, punters will often see potential Gold Cup horses make their seasonal debuts in the Hennessy so it is a crucial race. There have been a number of horses who have won the Hennessy before going onto to collect the Cheltenham Gold Cup later in the season, perhaps the most well known of those in recent times was Denman who did the double during the 2007/08 season.
