Gidleigh Park will return to Ascot for the BetMGM Clarence House Chase after connections elected to bypass this weekend’s Coral Silviniaco Conti Chase at Kempton.

A Grade 2 winner over hurdles and fences, Harry Fry’s eight-year-old finished second to Jango Baie on his first start of this season in the 1965 Chase at Ascot over two miles and five furlongs in November.
