Nicholls bids to solve Master puzzle

Dual Champion Chase winner Master Minded will miss out on a bid for a repeat win in the Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown on Saturday week as Paul Nicholls works to discover the reason for his hanging right-handed.

The prolific six-year-old displayed the uncharacteristic trait on his seasonal bow at Cheltenham when he continually lugged out to his right before weakening back to third behind Well Chief.
