As if the opposition were not scared enough, Paul Nicholls has just announced that his Cheltenham Festival banker, Master Minded, has improved enormously this year and he has never been better. He is bigger, stronger and so much improved that he has become impossible to oppose for the Queen Mother Champion Chase, a race he won by 19 lengths last season.
Master Minded has won both of his two starts this season, the second, the Victor Chandler at a canter, but Nicholls will only run him the the three times this season and may consider raising him up in trip next.
Master Minded is the highest rated chaser in training currently and he is a huge 1/3 odds on to win the Queen Mother for the second successive time with every top bookmaker (Bet365, Victor Chandler and William Hill).
The nearest competition to Master Minded is Big Zeb at 12/1 from Paddy Power.
