Sizing Europe out of Champion Hurdle

Sizing Europe will miss Tuesday's Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle, according to trainer Henry De Bromhead.

Speaking from Cheltenham racecourse De Bromhead said:" "We've had Sizing Europe checked out in the past hour and the vet has told us that the horse is suffering from transit fever.

"He obviously must have picked something up travelling over here and it is very disappointing for everyone concerned that he cannot run."
