Trainer Dessie Hughes has informed us that the exciting Our Conor will not run in the AES Champion Novice Hurdle at Punchestown tomorrow.

Hughes has taken this decision due the condition of the ground at the Co. Kildare venue.

The ground is currently heavy at Punchestown and Hughes feels this would not best suit his impressive JCB Triumph Hurdle winner.
