Cyclone Dial-A-Bet appeal dismissed

Trainer Shark Hanlon is eyeing Ascot compensation with Hidden Cyclone after his appeal against the result of the Paddy Power Dial-A-Bet Chase was dismissed.

Hidden Cyclone finished second in Leopardstown’s Grade 1 on December 27, beaten three-quarters of a length by Benefficient, who got close to Hanlon’s inmate on the run-in.

Hanlon remains adamant the interference cost Hidden Cyclone victory, but is keen to move on after the Turf Club decided not to reverse the placings.
