No decision on Inca's future

Colm Murphy is in no rush to make any future plans for Brave Inca following his disappointing 18th place finish in the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham last week.

A winner of the Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown in January, Murphy is currently at a loss to explain his poor Cheltenham display.

"He seems good. He was little bit quiet with himself after he arrived home which you would only expect," said Murphy.

"We're going to give him a little while to get over it and then we'll see where we go next with him.

"We were very disappointed on the day and he doesn't seem to be himself at the minute but we'll see what materialises in the next couple of weeks before we make any decisions."

Murphy also had news on Big Zeb, who took a crashing fall in the Queen Mother Champion Chase at the showpiece meeting last week.

"Big Zeb is very sore as you would expect but he seems in one piece," Murphy continued.

"He's grand and I would say it is more than likely he will run at Punchestown next month."
