Jockey Andrew McNamara is free to partner Hidden Cyclone in the Paddy Power Chase at Cheltenham on Saturday, having been partially successful in his appeal against a careless riding suspension.

McNamara picked up a two day suspension for careless riding on board winner Courtncatcher at Naas on October 28 and was due to serve his ban today (November 14) and Saturday.

However at an appeal hearing yesterday, the jockey had his ban reduced to one day, freeing him up to ride Hidden Cyclone in Saturday's feature race. By Thomas Weekes
