Commander better than last season - Brennan
By Jon Lees 2:46PM 18 OCT 2010 PADDY BRENNAN on Monday said Imperial Commander is in better form than he was last season as he looked forward to being reunited with the Totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup winner in next month's Betfair Chase at Haydock.
RELATED LINKS Gold Cup betting Brennan said he would have no worries about the threat from any of Imperial Commander's other rivals, Kauto Star and Denman, this season as long as he knows his own horse is in top form.
"I know what I've got," he said. "I know what I've got to look forward to. I know when I put my leg over Imperial Commander that he is the best horse in the country. I don't look at dangers. I look at Imperial Commander being in good form. If he is going into that race in the form of his life then you don't have to worry about anybody. I think he is better this season. Nigelwill admit he is much more forward."
Imperial Commander is due to make his return to action at Haydock on November 20, the race in which he lost in a photo-finish with Kauto Star last year.
