Europe all the rage for Champion title

Sizing Europe soared to the head of the betting for the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle as he left dual winner of the blue riband Hardy Eustace trailing in his wake at Leopardstown.

Coral were most impressed and make him their new 9-4 favourite after he thrashed last year’s winner plus proven Grade One performer Al Eile by upwards of eight lengths in the AIG Europe Champion Hurdle.
