Sizing Europe Straight To Arkle

Sizing Europe has had an incredible unbeaten streak of late (5-41111) and it was thought that as he hadn’t had a run out since December 09 that he would participate in next weekend’s Frank Ward Solicitors Arkle Chase at Leopardstown but trainer Henry de Bromhead has confirmed that that is unlikely and he will instead stick to the original plan and send him straight to Cheltenham for the Irish Independent Arkle Chase which takes place on Tuesday 16th March at 2.05pm.

Sizing Europe has won all four of his chase starts, highlighted by his win at Leopardstown in the Grade 1 Bord na Mona with Nature Novice Chase but currently remains second favourite at 15/2 after Captain Cee Bee, 5/1, to take the title.

According to Racing Post, De Bromhead said on Sunday: “After Sizing Europe won the Grade 1 at Leopardstown at Christmas, we said that we favoured sending him to Cheltenham without another run as he is horse who runs well fresh.”
