still looks good for the hennessy

A field of 18 are set to go to post for Saturday's Hennessy Gold Cup after the will he-won't he saga over China Rock's participation in the race was settled when trainer Mouse Morris finally ruled him out. The seven-year-old had been expected to be taken out at the final declaration stage, however his name appeared among the declarations before Morris decided not to run after seeking vets advice.
