Hidden Cyclone remains in contention for two races at the Cheltenham Festival in March following his second-placed finish at Ascot on Saturday.

Trainer Shark Hanlon is considering either the Queen Mother Champion Chase or the Ryanair Chase for the nine-year-old, who got to within 11 lengths of Sire De Grugy in the Sodexo Clarence House Chase

Dual Cheltenham Festival hero Champagne Fever and Grade One winner Don Cossack are the headline acts among nine entries for the Boylesports.com Killiney Novice Chase at Leopardstown on Saturday.

The Willie Mullins-trained Champagne Fever was beaten by Defy Logic over two miles at Christmas and would be stepping up in trip to two miles and five furlongs.

Triolo given Argento option.

Quote:

Hennessy winner Triolo D'Alene is the headline name amongst 12 entries for Saturday's Argento Chase at Cheltenham.

Nicky Henderson's seven-year-old rocketed 11lb in the handicap to a mark of 158 following his near three-length beating of Rocky Creek, who is set to reoppose for Paul Nicholls.

Ruby ready to rock at Doncaster.

Connections of Rock On Ruby are eager to take their chance in Saturday's Racing Post Lightning Novices' Chase at Doncaster.

The 2012 Champion Hurdle hero made a successful start over the bigger obstacles at Plumpton in December but his scheduled appearance on Town Moor earlier this month was scrapped due to unsuitable ground conditions.

Hurricane Fly is one of six horses still in contention for the BHP Insurance Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown on Sunday.

The Willie Mullins-trained 18-times Grade One winner will be aiming for a fourth consecutive victory in the race and is set to face some familiar foes.

Dettori doubles up on dream return.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Wed

Quote:

Frankie Dettori described winning on his comeback ride from a broken ankle at Lingfield as a "fairytale" as he gears up for what promises to be another momentous year in his incredible career.

Back months ahead of the initial prognosis from the accident at Nottingham on October 2 which ruled him out of the winning Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe ride on Treve, Dettori's talent appeared undiminished as he galvanised Eco Warrior home from the front in the coral.co.uk Median Auction Maiden Stakes.

'Big step forward' for Sacre.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...+Sacre&day=Wed

Quote:

Sprinter Sacre took a "big step forward" in his recovery on Wednesday morning when coming through a piece of exercise at trainer Nicky Henderson's Seven Barrows yard with flying colours.

Unbeaten in his first 10 races over fences, Sprinter Sacre was sensationally pulled up in the Desert Orchid Chase at Kempton over Christmas, when he was found to be suffering from an irregular heartbeat.

Bookies hit as huge gambles landed.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Thu

Quote:

An extraordinary few hours on Wednesday saw bookmakers hit for huge amounts after five heavily-backed horses obliged around the country, at least four of which were believed to have some link to legendary gambler and former trainer Barney Curley.

But leading firms were quick to downplay claims of a "multi-million pound bloodbath", with industry estimates put at around £2million.

Own lands another Thyestes.

Quote:

On His Own (12-1) became just the third horse to win the Goffs Thyestes Chase twice with a gallant all-the-way effort at Gowran Park.

Carrying a big weight, Willie Mullins' 10-year-old was given a bold sight at his fences by Paul Townend and it sparked him back to life.

McCoy won't rush Champion decision

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...cision&day=Fri

Quote:

Tony McCoy expects to make a very late call on what he will ride in the Stan James Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham in March.

The champion jockey can currently pick from two leading lights, with Nicky Henderson's My Tent Or Yours and the Jessica Harrington-trained Jezki both carrying the colours of his boss JP McManus

Annie powered up for Town Moor

Quote:

All eyes will be on Annie Power as Willie Mullins' budding superstar bids to stretch her unbeaten record to 10 in the OLBG.com Mares' Hurdle at Doncaster.

The six-year-old is likely to be a major player in the trainer's team for the Cheltenham Festival, and holds entries in the Stan James Champion Hurdle and the Ladbrokes World Hurdle as well as being a possible deputy for Quevega in the OLBG Mares' Hurdle there.

Rocher triumphs for Williams

Quote:

Devon handler Nick Williams plainly has a huge prospect on his hands in impressive Cheltenham winner Le Rocher.

Initially campaigned in France, the 2-1 chance put down a marker by taking the Finale Hurdle at Chepstow and took another forward step by coming well away from Kentucky Hyden and favourite Vicenzo Mio to win the JCB Triumph Hurdle Trial by 10 lengths in the hands of Richard Johnson

Brave Buck's loses record.

Quote:

Big Buck's went down fighting in third place on his comeback from 420 days off the track in the galliardhomes.com Cleeve Hurdle at Cheltenham as Knockara Beau ran out a shock winner.

The great stayer was ridden more prominently than usual by Sam Twiston-Davies, who was in the plate for the first time, and had all the other five runners in a line behind him as he led on the bend into the straight.

Annie Power enhanced her Cheltenham Festival claims with an effortless victory in the OLBG.com Mares' Hurdle at Doncaster.

Ruby Walsh set out to make every yard of the running on the Willie Mullins-trained six-year-old and the giant mare gradually ground her rivals into submission.
