Harchibald on course for Champion

Noel Meade reports Harchibald in good form as the Smurfit Champion Hurdle favourite builds up for the Cheltenham Festival in just over four weeks time.

´We gave him a quiet time after deciding to miss out on the AIG Europe Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown, and started his build up for Cheltenham this week.´

´I will take him to two tracks as part of his work in the next few weeks, with the after-racing session at Leopardstown on March 6 one of them,´ said Meade.
