Chief masters off-key Minded

Master Minded suffered a shock reverse on his return to action as Well Chief ran out an emphatic winner of the Connaught Chase at Cheltenham.

Dual Champion Chase hero Master Minded was sent to the head of affairs virtually from flag-fall by Ruby Walsh, but Timmy Murphy was always in his slip-stream on the notoriously-fragile Well Chief, who was in receipt of 10lb from the 4-7 favourite.
