MASTER MINDED HEAVY FAVOURITE FOR TINGLE CREEK CHASE

The action is set for this weekend's Tingle Creek Chase at Chepstow racecourse with one of December's biggest National Hunt prizes up for grabs. Currently, the odds-on favourite is Master Minded, the country's #1 rated two-mile runner. Fresh from a victory in the Queen Mother Champion Chase, Master Minded is currently listed as the 4-6 favourite to come in first. TIDAL BAYRight behind him is Arkle Trophy winner Tidal Bay (11-4) and his trainers are pinpointing the Railway Fences at the back of the course to be the make or break factor on whether Tidal Bay will take this one or not. OUTSIDERSA few other horses are in the running and they include the 14-1 Takeroc, 16-1 Twist magic (keep your eye on him for 3rd place) with the outsiders Mahogany Blaze, Fiepes Shuffle and L'Antartique coming in at 40-1, 50-1 and 66/1 respectively.This will be Master Minded's first big run out since Aintree, where he fell in an unconvincing performance against Voy Por Ustedes. Great things are expected of this Paul Nicholls trained horse and I am backing Master Minded and Tidal Bay each way with Betfair.
