The 11-year-old has never won beyond two and a half miles but his trainer Colm Murphy has every confidence in the gelding, who has captured Champion Hurdles in England and Ireland.

Brave Inca was sixth to Refinement on his only previous attempt at this distance two years ago but Murphy is convinced stamina will not be a problem for the 2006 Champion Hurdle winner.
