Last year's runaway Champion Chase winner Master Minded is 2-7 favourite with Coral to retain his title, following the final declarations for the two-mile highlight.  The six-year-old, a 19 length winner twelve months ago, is 11-8 with Coral to win by 13 or more lengths this time, while Big Zeb is the 3-1 favourite in Coral's betting without the red-hot market leader.

"Master Minded is sure to be sent off the shortest priced favourite at the Festival, and as far as we're concerned the only question is how far will Clive Smith's charge win by?" said Coral's David Stevens.
