Shark excited by Cyclone John 'Shark' Hanlon is excited about possible future Cheltenham Festivals with Hidden Cyclone, who has been put away until next season after signing off with a facile win at Navan earlier this month. Next year's RSA Chase and the totesport Gold Cup the following spring is Hanlon's dream for the six-year-old, whose only defeat in seven starts came in a Grade 1 hurdle at Leopardstown over Christmas. "He didn't know he had a race," said the County Carlow trainer. "The previous time he ran (at Thurles) he just didn't jump as well and I was disappointed. He jumped brilliantly this time, he came home alone and he's been out in the field since. "We'll look forward to next season with him. He's a really good horse and he'll go chasing when he comes back. We'll run him over two and a half mile upwards. He had no trouble staying the two mile seven at Navan. "I'm happy with him and it's great to have a horse there who could be a Gold Cup horse in a couple of years. We'll start off steady with him next year and we'll work from that. Hopefully this time next year he'll be at Cheltenham."
