SIZING EUROPE will face eight rivals on his return to two miles in the sportingbet.com Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown tomorrow.
Henry De Bromhead`s stable star has won four out of five on his trips to Britain, with his sole defeat coming in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham when he went wrong between the final two flights. He has experimented over a variety of distances in the past two seasons but has won an Arkle and a Champion Chase over this trip of two miles.
Paul Nicholls has got his usual strong hand in the feature race with two solid contenders. Andy Stewart’s Tataniano, an impressive winner at Chepstow on his reappearance, and the unexposed Kauto Stone.
A half-brother to Kauto Star, twice a winner of this race, he was a impressive winner of a Grade Two at Down Royal on his first start for the yard. Philip Hobbs’ Wishfull Thinking drops in trip after defeat in the Paddy Power Gold Cup.
