Brave Inca gave the Irish a winning start to the Festival for the fourth year in a row and it was a particularly sweet result for connections. Owners (The Novices Syndicate) and trainer Colm Murphy (who at 29 is the same age as the horse's jockey) had never even had a runner at the Festival before while jockey Barry Cash's only previous ride had seen him come last.
This race is becoming a benefit for the Irish having being successful for the fifth time in the last six runnings, Brave Inca and War Of Attrition dominating the finish.
