Hurdling Aces Set For Rematch

Brave Inca, Macs Joy and Hardy Eustace, the first three home in the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle, are set for a fascinating rematch at Punchestown on Friday.

All three have been left in the field for the ACC Bank Champion Hurdle, with Colm Murphy's Brave Inca looking to confirm his one-length beating of the Jessica Harrington-trained Macs Joy.

Aintree winner Asian Maze, who was a faller at Cheltenham, is also set to run for Tom Mullins while Michael O'Brien's Essex completes the likely line up.

John Murphy's champion two-mile chaser Newmill has been left in the race as a precaution and he lines up in tomorrow's Kerrygold Champion Chase. ? PA Sport
