Zeb set for 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. Colm Murphy's charge was agonisingly pipped by Master Minded in the Kerrygold Champion Chase, but he put all his jumping frailties behind him last week and is now the current champion two-mile chaser. The trainer said: "When you think back to Punchestown last year, and 12 months ago when he tipped up in the Queen Mother, it makes it extra special. We've had some very good days with him, and we've had some low days with him, but that was absolutely fantastic." He added: "Barry (Geraghty) was pretty bullish about him - there were no doubts about his ability - it was just going to be on the day. "Some day it was going to click, it was just a question of when. Luckily it was on Wednesday. "I'd say more than likely we'll go to Punchestown. We'll see how he is over the next couple of weeks, but that looks the obvious one."
