Murphy readying Joy and Zeb for tilt at Punchestown

COLM Murphy is readying Megans Joy and Big Zeb for appearances at the Punchestown Festival later in the month.

County Wexford-based Murphy placed the former to win five times on the spin earlier in the season before her run came to an end in Grade One company in December.

Megans Joy has been off the track since, but Murphy is hoping an intended outing on the level will put her right ahead of a potential crack at the vcbet.com Champion Novice Hurdle.
