Zeb set for Navan return Queen Mother Champion Chase hero Big Zeb is on course to begin the new winter campaign at Navan next month. Trainer Colm Murphy is to start his stable star off in the Fortria Chase on November 7th, a race he won last autumn. His target over Christmas is the likely to be the Dial-A-Bet Chase at Leopardstown, rather than the Tingle Creek at Sandown. He won the feature over Christmas in 2008, but had an unsuccessful trip to England last December when he was only fourth to Twist Magic at the Surrey venue. "He's very good, so the plan is to start off in the Fortria, the same as last year, at Navan," said the County Wexford handler. "We couldn't be happier with him and he's back in since July. "It will be a similar plan to last year, but I don't think he'll go to Sandown, he'll go to Leopardstown at Christmas."
