Min is set to return to Leopardstown next month for the Coral Dublin Chase.

The Willie Mullins-trained seven-year-old passed the post first in last week's Paddy's Rewards Club Chase, but was demoted in the stewards' room after impeding the Nicky Richards-trained Simply Ned on the run-in.

The French import had previously suffered just one defeat in six starts for the champion trainer when splitting Altior and Buveur D'Air in the 2016 Supreme Novices' Hurdle.

Owner Rich Ricci said: "When I saw Min coming past the stands the first time he looked so keen - almost out of control, moving so fast.

"He beat the others - there were some good horses behind him - but Nicky Richards' horse was bang there and the right decision was taken to take him down.

"Min will have another day. He's fine and he came out of the race well.

"He'll head for the Leopardstown Winter Festival."
