Inca on course for return for two-miler

Brave Inca is on course to return to action at Punchestown later this month after just failing to land back-to-back victories in the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham.

The nine-year-old is more likely to try to win the ACC Bank Champion Hurdle on April 27 for a second time rather than step up to three miles in the Dunboyne Castle Hotel & Spa Champion Stayers' Hurdle a day earlier.
