Friday, April 25, 2008

Harchibald will compete in this afternoons ACC Bank Champion Hurdle at Punchestown.

Despite fears over the ground he has been declared for this afternoons showpiece, from which his stablemate Aitmatov, placed yesterday is an absentee.

Meanwhile, jockey Davy Russell has been ruled out of today's card with a virus.

His absence means he cannot now catch Ruby Walsh in the jockeys title race, which reaches its climax tomorrow.
