Big Zeb team wait on ground

GROUND conditions will dictate the early December objective for Big Zeb following his impressive return to action at Navan.

The eight-year-old was given an ice-cool ride by Barry Geraghty to defeat Made In Taipan by an hard-held half-length in the Fortria Chase on Sunday.

Now trainer Colm Murphy will give Big Zeb an entry in both the Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown on December 5 and the John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase a day later.
