Sire De Grugy faces small field Sire De Grugy's chances of back-to-back victories in the bet365 Celebration Chase at Sandown today have been further boosted by the defection of Claret Cloak and Australia Day. Gary Moore's Champion Chase hero was already skinny odds to defend his crown, but he will now face just five rivals in the newly upgraded Grade One over two miles. Claret Cloak and Australia Day were both declared non-runners due to the ground at the Esher circuit, which is currently good to soft, good in places on the chase course.
