Murphy weighs up options

COLM MURPHY is weighing up the options for stable star Brave Inca after he made a satisfactory return at Punchestown on Sunday.

The eight-year-old, winner of Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle in March, finished an eight-and-a-quarter-length third behind Iktitaf in the Morgiana Hurdle on his autumnal bow.

“He’s come out of it extremely well. He’s in the field at the moment and I couldn’t be happier with him,” said Murphy.
