Connections of Sizing Europe have yet to map out a definite plan for their popular veteran.

The 13-year-old was last seen when finishing sixth of seven runners in the Clonmel Oil Chase at Clonmel last November.

While Sizing Europe is entered for the Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival - a race he won he 2011 - he is not a certain starter.

Trainer Henry de Bromhead told At The Races: "He's in really good form. We'll start firming up some plans for him in the next few weeks. I'll see what Alan and Ann (Potts, owners) want to do and go from there.

"If he was to go (to Cheltenham), he'd go straight there. We'll see."
