Following up his chasing debut success on the track in May, the Henry de Bromhead-trained 8/11 favourite jumped impeccably and, left in front when front-running Sarteano fell at the eighth, Sizing Europe galloped on relentlessly to slam chasing debutant Harchibald by no less than seventeen lengths.

This was an excellent performance from a high-class recruit to chasing. Bookmakers reacted by slashing his price for the Arkle at Cheltenham, Boylesports making him a 10/1 chance (from 14) while Paddy Power go 7/1.
