Brave Inca A 19-1 In-Running Winner

Those who thought that we had seen the best of reigning Champion Hurdler, Brave Inca, were left counting the cost of their mistake after the Colm Murphy-trained eight year-old battled to a hard-earned victory in the Hatton's Grace Hurdle at Fairyhouse this afternoon.

Such was the manner of his victory ? his jockey, AP McCoy was hard at work a full mile from home ? that Brave Inca was allowed to drift to an incredible 19-1 ?in-running' on Betfair, despite going off as the 10/30 clear second favourite behind the disappointing Asian Maze.

Ante-post Reaction:

Brave Inca is trading at 13/2 on Betfair for the Smurfit Champion Hurdle at The Cheltenham Festival in March.

Asian Maze is trading at 20/1 on Betfair for The Smurfit Champion Hurdle at The Cheltenham Festival in March.
