Sizing Europe takes Leopardstown chance

Sizing Europe has been given the all-clear to run in the Leopardstown Golf Centre December Festival Hurdle at the Dublin track this afternoon.

The six-year-old’s participation in the Grade One contest had been in doubt after he was found to have bruised a foot on Sunday.

His trainer Henry de Bromhead had the problem treated and the horse was 100% sound this morning.

“Everything’s perfect. He’s good so he’s gone up there and he’s going to run,” said the Co Waterford-based handler.

“We just gave him a little jog this morning and he was fine.”
