Three trainers face a real test of their skills

There are three admirable horses a lot of punters will not want to touch with a forty foot pole the next time they appear, namely Sizing Europe, First Lieutenant and Long Run.

All three were in action last Saturday and performed more or less in the same manner, miles below the standard we have come to expect from them.

Sizing Europe, given how consistent he has been over many seasons, produced an inexplicable display at Down Royal in the JNwine.com Champion Chase.
