Re: Horse Racing
Confidence behind Conor.

Dessie Hughes saddled Hardy Eustace to win successive Champion Hurdles in 2004 and 2005 and this year relies on last season's Triumph Hurdle hero Our Conor in the Stan James-sponsored showpiece.
The five-year-old has run creditably in defeat behind Hurricane Fly the last twice, most recently pushing the great horse all the way in the Irish Champion Hurdle. He also has age statistics to overcome, with 2008 hero Katchit the only five-year-old in almost 30 years to take Champion Hurdle glory.
