Macs can do the business again

MACS JOY, a brilliant winner of the race a year ago, is fancied to do the business again in the ACC Bank Champion Hurdle at the concluding stage of the Punchestown Festival today.

Jessica Harrrington's eight-year-old has had a stop-start campaign and was forced to miss Cheltenham due to a muscle problem.

But he returned to action on the flat at the Curragh 12 days ago and looked on good terms with himself.
