Not yet. Paul Nicholls has described that question as “crazy” and McCoy has said no-one has asked him, yet. But even though he is the most realistic opposition to stable companion Kauto Star’s hold on the Cheltenham Gold Cup and, assuming both horses make it to the start, it is hard to believe that Ruby Walsh would desert Kauto Star, so that leaves the ride on Denman up for grabs. Nicholls, who trains both horses, has said that no decision will be made until much nearer the time of the Gold Cup.
