(4:45) 277E Star ‘Best For Racing Coverage’ S’chase
(Grade 3) €20,475.00 ( 2m 7f – 5yo+ )[MAX 22]
NHFrm39-37 1 Follow The Plan(144) (OMcKiernan) 11,10
34114 2 Jadanli(145) (PJGilligan) – 11,10
1111- 3 Pandorama(148) (NMeade) – 11,10
11-13 4 Sizing Europe(160) (Hde Bromhead) 11,10
-4421 5 China Rock(142) (MFMorris) – 11,08
-33f5 6 Siegemaster(148) (DTHughes) – 11,08
-3596 7 Agus A Vic(124) (PMartin) – 11,03
31-52 8 Oscar Time(146) (MMLynch) – 11,03Should be a match between Sizing Europe and Pandorama on all known form. I’d say Meade and Carberry will be looking to stretch Sizing Europe’s stamina because Pandorama gets every yard of the trip. I got the impression last year that Pandorama is better left handed even though he won the Drinmore. Nice prep here for the English Hennessy all the same.
Looks a nice race.
Will be interesting to see what price Sizing Europe is sent off at, after all he is being sent into ‘unknown territory’ so to speak in relation to the trip.
Im not so sure, personally, he will get it. There are plenty who say he will get the trip, but im not so sure.
Will make for a very interesting race.

I think this is one where we wait for the prices…should be interesting.

So don't run, just like the others always do
Good to firm ground at the moment with watering taking place.
Hard to see Pandorama running on that sort of ground.
Predictable really.
Makes sh1te of what could’ve been a good contest. Should be nothing more than a schooling session for Sizing Europe now. Jadanli, Siegemaster and Oscar Time all need a good bit of dig in the ground. China Rock has the advantage in terms of race fitness from Gowran but he surely won’t be good enough if Sizing Europe is a genuine Gold Cup contender?

4 Siegemaster(148) (DTHughes) – RLoughran 11,08Watching brief for me. I think Sizing Europe will get a trip but I’ll happily let him run at the likely short price.

With the good ground, likely steady pace and his superior jumping, this really should be a stroll in the park for Sizing Europe, though winning easily wouldn’t necessarily guarantee his getting 3m in better company.
I had my doubts about Sizing Europe staying the trip.
Yes, he will need that run, his first appearance of the season, but i will stick by what i said, that he won’t stay the extended trip, until i see something further which makes me change my mind.
Very good win by China Rock, and at risk of ‘after timing’, he would have been the one i would have selected, if i were to have had a bet in the race.
Walsh at his brilliant best.
I wouldn’t be too despondent if I was a Sizing Europe fan. He’s worth another try over that trip with a more forcing ride. I do think he’ll be very hard to place this season. I don’t think he has the guts for the likes of Big Zeb over the minimum trip and we don’t have a great two and a half mile programme in Ireland. Down Royal next for the second season chasers race would seem to be the obvious next target.
