Master Minded in line for Ascot return

DUAL Queen Mother Champion Chase winner Master Minded will reappear in the Amlin 1965 Chase at Ascot on November 20.

Paul Nicholls’ seven-year-old lost his air of invincibility last season, despite winning the Game Spirit Chase at Newbury in February.

He was beaten on his seasonal debut at Cheltenham, after which he was found to have had a problem with a rib, and was lacklustre when attempting to defend his crown at the Festival in March.
