Morgiana Hurdle a puzzling treat

THE Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown on Sunday promises to answer some interesting questions.

Chief among them is whether champion hurdler Brave Inca retains all his enthusiasm. He’s had plenty hard races and there is a school which believes the admirable eight-year-old cannot keep delivering.

He had to dig deep to win the Champion Hurdle in March, after Tony McCoy was forced to ask serious questions in the first half of the race.
