There is a huge amount of hype around Kauto which will only grow as we near the festival. Denman has potential but as a punter that is a dangerous thing to support at short odds. The Denman/Kauto battle will further concentrate attention away from Exotic Dancer. Backing up what you said about Kempton - many people blamed the tactics for the reason why ED was so far behind Kauto in the King Goerge - whilst that might be partly the reason - he clearly doesnt perform on the course and is a far far better horse at Cheltenham. So in my mind Exotic Dancer is a horse who isnt quite as good as Kauto (btn 0.5,2.5 lengths) but available at 12/1 where as Kauto who is far from gauranteed a clear round over tough fences at Cheltenham is 5/4 - easy to see the value each way bet there!!
