The Willie Austin trained Conem was in the winners enclosure again this week after winning The Edmond Whelan Memorial Handicap Hurdle this time with Barry Geraghty doing the steering.

Geraghty raced his mount in behind the leaders and improved to lead entering straight and stayed on well to win by a comfortable 5 lengths, making it a double on the day for Geraghty.

Willie Austin trainer said, "After he won so well here on Thursday we decided to take our chance here today. He won well again today so we will keep him over hurdles for awhile. He wasn't right in himself at all last year but he seems much better this year. He's a brilliant jumper over fences and we will go chasing with him later on in the year."
