Kauto clash is next for Sizing Europe • Arkle winner fails to reel in China Rock on seasonal debut• Trainer says stamina was not the issueLast season's Arkle Chase winner, Sizing Europe, made a low-key seasonal return at Punchestown today when proving no match for China Rock.While the form book suggested that the Mouse Morris-trained winner had plenty to find with Sizing Europe, the betting market hinted strongly at a lack of confidence behind the favourite, who drifted from 4-6 to 5-4 beforehand.Stepping up in trip to nearly three miles, Sizing Europe seemed to have China Rock in his sights at the third-last fence, but failed to throw down a serious challenge and went down by seven lengths.William Hill removed Sizing Europe from its betting for the King George VI Chase and Gold Cup but the horse's trainer, Henry de Bromhead, refused to accept that Sizing Europe lacks the stamina for three miles and said he may now clash with Kauto Star over that distance in the JNWine.com Champion Chase at Down Royal on 6 November."I thought he ran very well," de Bromhead said, praising the tactical nous of Ruby Walsh on the winner. "His jumping was a little bit rusty but that will improve as we go on and I felt he got the trip."I thought he stayed on again after the second-last. He had a big blow after the fourth-last and he'll improve a lot."Horse racingKing George VI ChaseCheltenham Gold CupWill Haylerguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
