Last year's runner-up Hidden Cyclone will tackle the Ryanair Chase rather than run in the Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham next week.
Having finished second in a Grade One over two miles at Christmas, trainer Shark Hanlon had been favouring a crack at the likes of Sprinter Sacre and Sire De Grugy in the Queen Mother.
However, with a couple of notable defections from the Ryanair, connections have decided to run in the two-mile-five-furlong event as they seek to improve on last year's second place.
"We've just made a decision in the last 15 minutes that we'll go for the Ryanair," Hanlon told At The Races.
"There's no Dynaste there this year and with Cue Card pulling out this week, we are heading that way.
"Up to now we were heading towards the Champion Chase but with no Cue Card and the ground drying out, it's likely to be good by Thursday, so we're turning that way."
