With Big Zeb (5/1) and Finians Rainbow both winning, challengers are queuing up behind Sizing Europe for the QM Champion Chase.
StanJames.com spokesman Rory Jiwani says, “We’ve cut Big Zeb from 6/1 to 5/1 for the Champion Chase after he saw off Noble Prince to win his third Dial-A-Bet Chase at Leopardstown. Paul Nolan’s runner-up ran more than creditably and he’s now 6/1 favourite for the Ryanair Chase.
“While Long Run failed to deliver yesterday, Nicky Henderson has had plenty to cheer at Kempton today with Finians Rainbow rallying from a bad blunder four out to win the Desert Orchid Chase. We’ve left him unchanged at 7/1 for the big race on day two of the Festival.”
