Big Zeb laid to rest his jumping demons with a flawless performance in the Seasons Holidays Queen Mother Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival - with Master Minded well beaten.
Paul Nicholls' Master Minded was attempting to emulate Badsworth Boy by becoming only the second ever horse to win the race three years in a row.
Big Zeb was always travelling strongly for Barry Geraghty and had a nice lead into the straight off Forpadydeplasterer.
But Colm Murphy's 10-1 winner jumped the last fantastically to seal a six-length victory.
Kalahari King ran on from the rear to beat Master Minded for third.
