Joy Ready To Run

Jessica Harrington is hoping Punchestown will stay dry ahead of Sunday's Maplewood Developments Hurdle.

Harrington is set to take the wraps off stable star Macs Joy in the two-mile feature and she reports the ground to be ideal at present.

'He's in good form but I don't want to see any more rain at Punchestown, as I think the ground is perfect there,' she said.

Macs Joy, winner of three Grade One contests, finished fifth in the race in 2005, having been third the previous year.
