Geraghty steps in for absent McCoy aboard Brave Inca

CHAMPION Hurdler Brave Inca makes his seasonal reappearance in the Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown tomorrow where he will have to do without the services of Tony McCoy.

The champion jockey built up a fantastic partnership with Colm Murphy’s eight-year-old last season, with their success at Cheltenham proving the highlight.

That was the fifth win for the pair from only seven starts, but McCoy misses out at the weekend as his boss JP McManus requires him to ride Clan Royal in the Becher Chase at Aintree.
