Heavy rainfall on Friday has forced the withdrawal of Sizing Europe from the Paddy Power Dial-A-Bet Chase at Leopardstown this afternoon.

Henry de Bromhead's estimable 12-year-old won the Grade One two years ago, but conditions have gone against him.

Plans are now fluid for Sizing Europe, who struggled in the Clonmel Oil Chase in November but had previously impressed on his seasonal bow a month earlier at Gowran Park.

De Bromhead said: "It rained all day (on Friday) so he's not running. There's definitely no plan B yet."

In total 11 horses have already been withdrawn (all due to the change in going) from today's seven-race card at Leopardstown including Heaney, Subtle Ben and Back Off Mate in the Paddy Power Chase.

First reserve More Madness will take his chance with Robbie Colgan taking the mount.
