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

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.
