O’Dwyer: Hardy Eustace my best chance of success at Festival

CONOR O’DWYER, on the eve of his 41st birthday, believes if he is to ride a winner at Cheltenham next week it will be Hardy Eustace in the Champion Hurdle.

“I have bits and pieces here and there, but Hardy Eustace is my baby, he’s my best chance”, said O’Dwyer.

He admitted to being “gutted” when Mouse Morris rang to tell him last year’s Gold Cup hero, War Of Attrition, had sustained an injury and was out of the Festival.
