What’sonyourmind books Cheltenham ticket

The well-backed 9/4 joint-favourite, ridden by Tim Hyde, stretched clear inside the final furlong to slam Patsy Hall by 14 lengths, prompting his trainer Pat Doyle to declare: “He’s a three-parts brother to Alexander Banquet and will follow the same route as him. It’s straight to Cheltenham now.”

Doyle, who is based in Holycross, County Tipperary, added: “He’s as good a bumper horse as I’ve ever had. He’s a brilliant horse over a fence and we were going to point-to-point him. But he showed us so much that we decided to go straight into a bumper.”
