Ascot target for Cyclone

Hidden Cyclone puts his Queen Mother Champion Chase credentials on the line in the Sodexo Clarence House Chase at Ascot on Saturday.

Shark Hanlon’s nine-year-old has been right back to his best this season, finishing third in the Paddy Power Gold Cup and then beaten in a tight finish to a two-mile Grade One at Leopardstown over Christmas.

Running back over the minimum distance for the first time in eight races, Hidden Cyclone just lost out to Tony Martin’s Benefficient.
