After race at Leopardstown Sat, 9th Feb, 2013 (1st)

he (Our Conor) spoke for himself there! He is the real deal and is definitely stronger today. I was still surpised the way he won, he hardly came off the bridle. He goes on any ground and real good ground will suit him well. He met a lot of his hurdles wrong today but was still quick over them and jumped two out very well. Bryan said he was off the bridle early on, but when he got to three out he latched back onto it. He finished his race well and it is great to see him staying so well, that's what he'll need for his next race (the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham).

D T Hughes

After race at Fairyhouse Sun, 2nd Dec, 2012 (1st)

He's a good leaper and he has a turn of foot. He has everything you need. He ran on better ground on the flat and he'd probably prefer that. You'd have to say he is (a Triumph Hurdle contender), hopefully anyway if he progresses and stays right. He's proven now he's decent and he won well enough. Bryan thought going to the last that he'd like something in front of him as he looked at it a bit. He might go to Leopardstown at Christmas, we've got a month and there's no reason he shouldn't. From the first day he saw a hurdle he was a natural and he just likes it.

D T Hughes

After race at Navan Sun, 11th Nov, 2012 (1st)

He can jump! He schooled well from day one. He was fit and his form was good on the flat. He handles heavy ground and I suppose it will be Christmas next for him. He is a nice 3yo.

D T Hughes

After race at Naas Wed, 27th Jun, 2012 (1st)

He was good in Roscommon (won his maiden there 16 days ago) too. He might go over a bit further the next day. He's a nice little horse to have and he might run on the flat at Galway.

D T Hughes

After race at Roscommon Mon, 11th Jun, 2012 (1st)

It was a weak maiden. He had run well in a good Curragh maiden first time out. He will probably win a handicap and the handicapper shouldn't be too hard on him for his win today. He will probably be better going further. He was bought to be a dual purpose horse as a yearling at Goffs and he will definitely make a hurdler in time.
