Inca in top form

BRAVE INCA is in cracking form as trainer Colm Murphy puts the finishing touches to his Champion Hurdle preparations.

“The horse is in great shape, I am counting the days, indeed counting the hours, to Cheltenham at this stage,” reported Murphy at Thurles yesterday.

“On Saturday, he will go up to the Curragh and work on the Old Vic gallop. He will have one racecourse gallop before Cheltenham and I would think it will be at Leopardstown on Sunday week.”
