Preview Of CHELTENHAM 15:15 12/03/2008 By Ragga

What a great and competitive race this years Queen Mother looks.  Paul Nicholls has the two favourites in Master Minded and Twist Magic with last years winner Voy Por Ustedes only half a point bigger as 3rd favourite.  Both the Nicholls pair have beaten Voy Por this year but i think Master Minded victory at Newbury was more impressive considering Voy Por would not had been suited by the going at Sandown in the Tingle Creek won by Twist Magic.  Voy Por will be a different kettle of fish back at Cheltenham but the ground seems to be against him now.  Twist Magic was thrashed by Tariambleu at Ascot on soft ground in the Victor Chandler so i would be wary with him also on likely going.  I don't believe Tariambleu is quick enough in a championship race over two miles so i will go for the horse on the upgarde and very impressive Master Minded at 3-1.
