Trip test for Sizing Europe

HENRY de Bromhead admits he is as much in the dark as anyone over the prospects of Sizing Europe staying three miles this season.

Last year’s Arkle hero makes his seasonal reappearance in the Star Best For Racing Chase at Punchestown today over two miles and seven furlongs.

A winner over two and a half miles as a novice, if he conclusively proves his stamina, Sizing Europe could take in races such as the King George at Kempton on St Stephen’s Day, so the Grade Three contest is likely to shape the rest of his season.
