SIZING HAS IT ALL TIED UP AGAIN

Sizing Europe repeated last year's success in the Boylesports.com Tied Cottage Chase with an emphatic display at Punchestown.

Henry de Bromhead's top-class 11-year-old has now won all his four starts this winter after disposing of the gallant Foildubh.

Andrew Lynch made all the running on the 1-8 shot and only Foildubh could keep tabs on him, flattering briefly but being put in his place from the second-last fence, though the winner did not appear quite his usual brilliant self in scoring by 10 lengths.
HAYDOCK TARGET FOR CONEYGREE

Coneygree is set to run at Haydock before going for glory in the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.

There is a race of the same name over three miles at the Merseyside track on February 16 for Mark Bradstock's charge, who was third behind At Fishers Cross at Cheltenham on his latest start after winning his two previous races there.

"He didn't handle the extreme ground. Mattie (Batchelor) said he never carried him like he did in the last two races when it was soft, but that was extreme," said Bradstock's wife, Sara.

"He is still a big baby. The winner was interestingly a second-season novice.
