So SomersetYou are in: Somerset > So Somerset > 'If you can't be in Cheltenham, this is probably the best place to be'  Assistant Dan Skelton leads out Denman 'If you can't be in Cheltenham, this is probably the best place to be'Trainers and stablehands of Paul Nicholls' champion horses, the current Gold Cup champion Denman and last year's winner Kauto Star, commentate and give their reaction to the Denman's 'awesome' win. Somerset trainer Paul Nicholls has continued his champion run as his horses have taken first, second and third positions in the Gold Cup. Denman beat stablemate and last year's winner Kauto Star who finished second while Neptune Collonges took third place. The much-anticipated first duel between the unbeaten Denman and Kauto Star had been billed as the most exciting Gold Cup clash since Arkle beat Mill House in 1964. "It was a great performance, good for the whole team. Just brilliant," said Nicholls, the champion trainer.  Trainers nervously watched their horses "The moment I first saw the horse with Paul Barber (joint-owner) we said 'wow'. "Neptune Collonges has been improving all the time and Kauto ran a good race too, but they were beaten on the day by a better horse. It's brilliant for the whole team."
