Zeb team sights on Champion

Big Zeb’s owner Pat Redmond is placing a second victory in the Sportingbet.com Queen Mother Champion Chase as a greater priority than Sunday’s Boylesports.com Tied Cottage Chase at Punchestown tomorrow.

Colm Murphy’s Cheltenham hero of 2010 faces not far short of a match race with Sizing Europe as only three runners have been declared in the two-mile Grade Two.

Sizing Europe beat Big Zeb by five lengths in last year’s renewal before the older horse managed a comeback in the Punchestown Champion Chase.
