All systems go for returning Inca

Colm Murphy reports Brave Inca to be nearing full fitness as he plots a comeback for the 2006 Champion Hurdle hero.

A winner of nine Grade One contests, the 10-year-old has not been seen in racecourse action since April 2007 after suffering a tendon injury.

Murphy felt it best to give his stable star the entire season off last time around and he is keeping his fingers crossed that it was a move that has paid dividends.
