Super Mac on course for AIG

JESSICA HARRINGTON yesterday issued an upbeat bulletin on early favourite Macs Joy ahead of Saturday’s AIG (Europe) Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown.

However, Harchibald’s participation in the race remains in the balance as trainer Noel Meade is concerned over the prospect of heavy conditions.

Some harsh weather conditions are predicted over the next couple of days with rain and wintry showers expected, raising the likelihood of testing ground.
