The Queen Mother's Champion Chase is the highlight of the second day's card where Sizing Europe is odds-on favourite.
Sizing Europe inflicted a rare but decisive defeat on BIg Zeb at Leopardstown and on that form he looks like justifying his price. Finian's Rainbow is 4/1 and Big Zeb 9/2 in the 8 horse field.
The Baring Bingham Novices' Hurdle Gr 1 has 19 runners with Simonsig at 9/4, Monksland 5/1, Sous Les Cieux 6/1 and we'll add a roughie to this in Felix Yonger at 16/1.
The RSA Chase Gr 1 has 9 runners with Grands Crus 6/4, Bobs Worth 3/1 and we'll add Join Together at 6/1.
Following the Queen Mum the Coral Cup Hurdle Gr 3 has 28 runners and is very open. Get Me Out Of Here is 7/1, Balgarry 8/1, and the sharp pin has also selected Carlo Brigante at 12/1 and Consigliere 25/1.
The Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle Gr 3 has 24 runners with Vendor 7/2, Kazlian 7/1, 8/1 Ulck Du Lin (don't know much about most of these) and we'll give another chance to Une Artists at 25/1.
The program ends with a Champion Bumper NH Flat race G1 with 20 to run. New Year's Eve is 11/2, Moscow Mannon 6/1, and the pin finds Sir Johnson 12/1 and Circular Quay 25/1.
