Two-mile stars to clash at Punchestown

The first four home from Cheltenham’s Queen Mother Champion Chase are all entered in what promises to be a memorable renewal of the Boylesports.com Champion Chase at Punchestown on April 24.

Finian’s Rainbow, Sizing Europe, Big Zeb and Gauvain are engaged as well as Kauto Stone and Wishfull Thinking, who will be looking to make amends after falling in the two-mile feature at Cheltenham.

Sizing Europe could be counted an unlucky loser at Prestbury Park following the controversial dolling off of the final fence and his trainer Henry de Bromhead is hoping for Punchestown compensation.
