Our Conor on course for season-defining clash with Hurricane Fly

Owner Barry Connell is looking forward to seeing Our Conor return to the jumping game next month following a satisfactory return to action on the Flat at Naas.

Making his first appearance since his devastating display in the Triumph Hurdle and carrying Connell’s colours for the first time, the Dessie Hughes-trained four-year-old came home fourth in Sunday’s Woodlands 100 Club October Handicap.

Next up for the four-year-old is a likely clash with dual Champion Hurdle hero Hurricane Fly in the Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown on November 17 and Connell admits that is likely to be a season-defining contest.
