Harchibald Not Certain For Bula

Harchibald is only '50-50' to run in the totesport Bula Hurdle at Cheltenham next Saturday.

The six-year-old was last seen finishing an unlucky-in-running third in the Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown last month and trainer Noel Meade has entered him for the two-mile-one-furlong event at Prestbury Park.

However, the County Meath handler could keep Harchibald for the December Festival Hurdle at Leopardstown rather than give him two quick runs.

'He´s terrific. He´s entered in the Bula and we will see what the ground does, but he might just wait until Christmas,' said Meade.

'I would say he was only 50-50. I´m not mad about running him at Cheltenham and again at Christmas.'
