FormscanBy Gary Carson - CAPTAIN CONBY could be on a nice mark here. Dusty Sheehy thinks a lot of the Conduit gelding and feels he could be a graded horse in the making. He only got home by half a length in a bunch finish at Punchestown last month but that was his hurdling debut and he was reportedly short of full fitness so improvement should be forthcoming. Robinstown bumped into a well handicapped sort in Futurum Regem at Navan last month but it was a decent run to finish second best that day and off just 3lb higher he could be the danger now. Neveradullmoment has hinted at ability in three maiden hurdle starts and looks one to note in the market on his handicap debut.
