Ground the key to Harchibald plans
Harchibald, who recently secured his second victory in Kempton’s Christmas Hurdle in dramatic style, could well be on the way back to Leopardstown for a crack at the Irish Champion Hurdle.
Of his Kempton win, Meade said: “I was at home watching the race on television. I was hoping he was going to win but it will always be arguable because Punjabi was going very well when he fell. I don’t know, but Paul (Carberry) thought he had him covered anyway.”
