Trainer Colm Murphy is training Big Zeb for the Tied Cottage Chase on January 30 which he won 12 months ago en route to glory at the Festival.

The 10-year-old has won both his starts this season, beating old rival Golden Silver in the Fortria Chase and the Dial-A-Bet Chase, and is pleasing Murphy in his work.
