Heskin new retained jockey to Connell

Leading Irish owner Barry Connell has replaced Danny Mullins with Adrian Heskin as his retained jockey.

Connell appointed Mullins as his number one at the end of January last year and the pair enjoyed top-flight success last season, with The Tullow Tank winning the Royal Bond at Fairyhouse and the Future Champions Novice Hurdle at Leopardstown.

Foxrock was another significant multiple winner for the combination, but Connell has decided the time is right for a change.
