Inca faces four

No extra entries have been received for the rescheduled Ballymore Properties Hatton’s Grace Hurdle at Fairyhouse tomorrow.

The Grade One contest was due to take place on Sunday but the meeting was abandoned after two races due to adverse weather conditions.

The race then reverted to its forfeit stage but only the original five declarations have stood their ground, headed by champion hurdler Brave Inca.

Tony McCoy is set to renew his acquaintance with Colm Murphy’s charge after Barry Geraghty partnered him to finish third behind Iktitaf and Asian Maze on his seasonal bow.

Asian Maze will try to confirm that form tomorrow while Al Eile will bid to put a disappointing performance in the Lismullen Hurdle behind him.

The impressive winner that day was Noel Meade’s Rosaker, who takes his chance again, while Frances Crowley’s Brogella completes the line up.
