Zeb on track or Punchestown

QUEEN Mother Champion Chase winner Big Zeb is next month likely to attempt to go one better than last season’s second-place finish at the Punchestown Festival.

Despite making a bad mistake at the final fence, Colm Murphy’s charge was agonisingly pipped by Master Minded in the Kerrygold Champion Chase.

He put all his jumping frailties behind him last week, however, and is now the current champion two-mile chaser.
