Straightforward task for Europe

The brilliant Sizing Europe should prove a major attraction in the Grade 2 Clonmel Oil Chase at Clonmel this afternoon.

There is no indication that the dual Cheltenham festival winner is on the decline and he should carry far too many guns for his four rivals.

Indeed, the ten-year-old has between 15lbs and 29lbs in hand and anything less than an emphatic victory will be a major surprise. Henry de Bromhead’s charge returned in rude good health in another Grade 2 at Gowran Park in early October.
