Your support makes all the difference.Brave Inca made a winning reappearance under Tony McCoy in an eventful renewal of the Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown yesterday.
Colm Murphy's stable star had been off the track since April but he showed no signs of needing the run as he powered home by half a length from Essex.
McCoy increased the tempo turning for home but Paul Carberry was looking confident aboard the 7-4 favourite, Harchibald.
Carberry started to make a move up the inside rail. But as he attempted to creep up Brave Inca's inside before the last flight, the gap quickly closed and he ended up being badly squeezed against the rails.
That firmly handed the initiative to Brave Inca and McCoy drove out the 11-4 shot to hold the fast-finishing Essex.
Carberry was not overly hard on Harchibald after his run was checked and he eased home in third.
