Murphy waits on weather with Inca

COLM MURPHY is closely monitoring the weather as he looks to complete Brave Inca’s preparations for the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle.

Murphy was to have galloped the nine-year-old after racing at Leopardstown yesterday but the meeting was called off.

The County Wexford trainer will now see how long the wet spell lasts before taking his reigning champion hurdler for a final serious spin.
