Zabana set for Leopardstown on Saturday Zabana will test his Cheltenham Festival credentials in the Flogas Novice Chase at Leopardstown on Saturday. Runner-up in last season's Coral Cup at Prestbury Park before finishing third behind Jezki at the Punchestown Festival, the seven-year-old made a smart start to his career over fences when victorious at Leopardstown's Christmas meeting. Trainer Andrew Lynch has given his stable star entries in both the RSA Chase and the JLT at Cheltenham in March, but is keen to see how he fares at Leopardstown before committing to future targets. "He will hopefully next run in the Flogas Novice Chase. That race should also give us some pointers as to Cheltenham," said the County Meath-based handler.
