PUNCHESTOWN BREEZE FOR EUROPE

January 20 2010

Sizing Europe - impressed again.

Sizing Europe maintained his unbeaten record over fences with another faultless display in the Grade Two Craddockstown Novice Chase.

Henry de Bromhead's stable star was sent off the 1-3 favourite to follow up a victory at the course a month ago and travelled sweetly throughout under Andrew Lynch.

The seven-year-old cruised to the front after jumping the third-last fence and the result was in little doubt thereafter.

Having produced a typically assured leap at the final obstacle, Sizing Europe eased to a six-length victory over Major Finnegan.

Sky Bet were impressed and cut the winner to 6s from 7s for the Arkle Trophy at Cheltenham.
