Inca unlikely to make Sunday return

Brave Inca is unlikely to take his chance in Sunday’s Maplewood Developments Hurdle at Punchestown with trainer Colm Murphy electing to bide his time with the 2006 Champion Hurdle hero.

The 10-year-old has been off the track since April 2007 due to injury but Murphy had been hoping his nine-time Grade One winner would be ready to return at the weekend.
