Trainer Nicky Henderson has decided against running his Cheltenham Gold Cup contender Jango Baie in the upcoming Denman Chase at Newbury. The move aims to preserve the horse's condition for the festival, given the expected testing ground conditions. This withdrawal shifts the market favorite for Saturday's race to Haiti Couleurs.
