Expect another Master class

I HEAD to Aintree this afternoon for four rides, but three of them pale into insignificance, with all due respects to the horses involved, compared to teaming up with Master Minded in the Grade 2 Old Roan Chase.

He has been an absolute star for Paul Nicholls and me and, as an eight-year-old, there is still much to look forward to with him.

Essentially, we no longer look on Master Minded as a possible winner of Cheltenham’s two mile Champion Chase and his future undoubtedly lies over further.
