Mullins horse set for Christmas outing

Princely Conn is likely to test his powers at a longer distance over the Festive period following an excellent run to finish third in the Royal Bond Novice Hurdle at Fairyhouse.

The talented bumper performer made an impressive start to his jumping career when carrying the colours of JP McManus to victory at Punchestown in mid-October, but he was a disappointing favourite on his next appearance at Navan.
