A mouthwatering clash between Hurricane Fly and Triumph Hurdle winner Our Conor is still on the cards after the pair were among nine horses left in the Ryanair Hurdle at Leopardstown on Sunday week.

Hurricane Fly will try to extend his Grade One tally after setting a world record of 17 top-level successes at Punchestown last month, while the Dessie Hughes-trained Our Conor is set to make his belated seasonal debut.

Willie Mullins, the trainer of Hurricane Fly, also has the unbeaten Un De Sceaux, Thousand Stars, Zaidpour and Annie Power, although the last three have alternative engagements at the meeting and the former is entered at Thurles this weekend.

Jessica Harrington's Jezki, winner of the Hatton's Grace Hurdle at the beginning of the month, Ted Veale and veteran Captain Cee Bee make up the nine.
