Tingle option for Europe

The Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown on December 3 is a possible option for Sizing Europe, while stable companion and exciting novice hurdler Sizing Symphony could accompany him on the journey over.

Last year's Queen Mother Champion Chase hero Sizing Europe could take in the Tingle Creek, with the JNWine.com Champion Chase on Saturday week at Down Royal a possible port of call along the way.

Sizing Symphony recorded his third successive victory over hurdles at Cheltenham earlier this month, and could head back across the Irish Sea to compete in the Winter Novices' Hurdle 24 hours earlier at Sandown.

"Sizing Symphony is in good form. It's (plans) subject to ground as he's definitely a better-ground horse," the trainer told At The Races.

"I think going back to Cheltenham in November might be too soon, but there is a two-and-a-half-mile Grade 2 at Sandown at the beginning of December. It's the same weekend as the Tingle Creek, and (Sizing) Europe might go for the Tingle Creek and he might go with him."

Regarding a possible step back up in trip at Down Royal for Sizing Europe, De Bromhead added: "We're going to stay in the Down Royal race and follow it along.

"We'll see whose turning up and see, he ran very well in the race last year. We're keeping our options open. Ground would probably be a key thing."
