Run over three miles two and a half furlongs, it is a Class A Grade One chase open to horses five years and above. This is the race that brings the best European horse to the fore and cannot be underestimated in terms of its importance in the horseracing calendar of events.The Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup on the other hand is a Grade Three race for five year olds and over, run over a distance of three miles two and a half furlongs at Newbury racecourse in November. It is a prestigious handicap chase and is the most important race of its kind before Christmas. The race has been taking place at Newbury, under the sponsorship of Hennessy Cognac since 1960. Interestingly, the first race in 1957 was won by Madame Kilian Hennessy's Mandarin, whilst a member of the same family, M. James Hennessy was the French owner of the last five year old to win the Grand National - Lutteur III in 1909. The Hennessy is a test of staying chasers, consisting of seventeen fences, and can be a good guide as to who might do well in the Grand National, although the winner might not be indicative. Springbok finished fifth in the 1962 National after winning the Hennessy, while the 1969 winner Spanish Steps finished fourth in both 1973 and 1974, and came third in 1975. In recent years two horses have come close to winning the National following a win in the Hennessy - Suny Bay in 1997 was the runner up in the National while in 2002 What's Up Boys went down by only one and three quarters lengths to Bindaree. Horses placed in the Hennessy seem to have better luck in the National, a prime example being Red Rum who was a short-head runner-up in the race before winning his second National in 1974. Other examples include Aldaniti who was third in the 1977 race four years prior to winning at Aintree, Mr Frisk was third in the Hennessy before winning the 1990 National and Party Politics was second in the Hennessy prior to his win at Aintree in 1992. Other horses who didn't quite make it in the Hennessy but won the National include Rough Quest who won the National in 1996, and Red Marauder who won the National in 2001. It goes without saying therefore that those who place in the Hennessy Cognac Cold Cup may have a good chance of winning at the Aintree Grand National. Denman came first in November's Hennessy Gold Cup, with What A Friend, Niche Market, Barbers Shop and Gone to Lunch coming in second, third, fourth and fifth place respectively - ones to watch out for in the Aintree Grand National this year?
