Sizing Europe and Jered Betting for Morgiana Hurdle
Sizing Europe and Jered Betting for Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown is very close, with the Noel Meade trained Jered 6/5 favourite. Henry de Bromhead's, Sizing Europe is believed to be back to his best after disappointing at the Cheltenham Festival. The field is likely to be only five runners and it is starting to look like a two horse race between two of the Champion Hurdle 2009 favourites. The outcome is sure to have a big effect in the betting of the Premier Hurdle race in Britain.
Jered is clearly a special horse he has not put a foot wrong for a long time and he continues to impress at home. He has already thrashed the likes of Cork All Star, Fiveforthree, Made In Taipan and Balitman to name just a few and he is justifiably vying for faouritism in the Champion Hurdle with Binocular and Katchit. If he should win here then he will become a very serious contender at Cheltenham indeed.

It is understandable why punters would be afraid th back Sizing Europe after he disappointed so badly in the Champion Hurdle last season. Indeed we had tipped him ourslves to win that race, but he appeared to run out of determination two out and he was all but pulled up by the end. The stable did however confirm that he had incurred a spinal injury and simply went limp. Therefore as punters we should not always be too hard to judge on one performance alone, we should think about his AIG win at Leopardstown and listen to the stable when they say he has back to his best.

Jered 6/5, Sizing Europe 13/8, Won In The Dark 5/1, Hardy Eustace 12/1, Harchibald 20/1.
