Make it Messenger

DISAPPOINTINGLY, Sizing Europe misses the Grade 1 bewleyshotels.com December Festival Hurdle at Leopardstown this afternoon.

Henry de Bromhead’s charge was found to have mucus in his system when given a routine scope yesterday morning and is now likely to be prepared for the AIG Europe Champion Hurdle back on this track next month.

In Sizing Europe’s absence the vote goes to Noel Meade’s Jazz Messenger, who is currently in the form of his life.
