De Bromhead ponders Sizing Europe plans

Trainer Henry de Bromhead is in no rush to decide which race at the Punchestown Festival Sizing Europe will contest following his fine effort in defeat at Cheltenham last week.

After much deliberation by connections, the 11-year-old was given the chance to regain his crown in the two-mile Queen Mother Champion Chase, instead of going for the longer Ryanair Chase.

The veteran did his best to fight off the awesome Sprinter Sacre running down the hill and although he was readily swept aside in the end, Sizing Europe was a clear second.
