Sizing Europe heads Champion Chase eight

Last year’s winner Sizing Europe heads a select field of eight declared for tomorrow’s sportingbet.com Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham.

Henry de Bromhead’s 10-year-old is likely to be a warm order to repeat his win of 12 months ago when he defeated the previous year’s winner Big Zeb.

The latter will try to regain his title, but was beaten 15 lengths by Sizing Europe in the Tied Cottage Chase at Punchestown last month.
