Queen Mother Champion Chase hero Finian's Rainbow has been entered for a first start of the season in the Amlin 1965 Chase at Ascot on Saturday.

Trainer Henry de Bromhead described Sizing Europe (8/13 Fav) as “the horse of a lifetime” after the 10-year-old battled gamely to hold off Realt Dubh and win today's feature Grade 1 Boylesports.com Champion Chase.

And it looks like being a cracking start with Sizing Europe, unlucky in going down to Finian's Rainbow at Cheltenham, odds-on for the Gr 1 Champion Chase.

The bet365 Ultimate Celebration of British Horseracing on Saturday 28th April at Sandown Park Racecourse is one of the pinnacle racedays in the calendar and is unique in that both Flat and Jump racing are staged during the day along with an equine parade to celebrate the Champions of the closing season.

Fortunately not on Friday 13th but Saturday 14th with 40 runners to line up for the 7200m chase.
