Sizing out to conquer in Champion

Henry de Bromhead reports Sizing Europe to be “bouncing” as he bids to end his season on a high in today’s Boylesports.com Champion Chase.

The two-mile Grade One is the feature event of the opening day of the Punchestown Festival, and Sizing Europe aims for his first win in the race having been placed for the last two years.

The 10-year-old lost his crown in a controversial running of the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham last month at the hands of Finian’s Rainbow, with the pair swerving around the dolled off final fence.
