Captain Conby
Had very useful form in 2023 and looked sharper for his Flat return after 851 days off the track when a 12l sixth of ten at Wexford (2m, good to yielding); on a nice mark if continuing to shake off his rustiness.

From the connections
“Captain Conby is a class horse. I said it the day he won his maiden hurdle. His pedigree is all chasers, so I always felt he was going to make a better chaser. He has a high cruising speed and he'll stay. I'll try to keep him in lesser company for as long as I can but he'll get a tilt at a good one - Eamon Sheehy, trainer.”
“Captain Conby is a very good horse I think. He has done very little fast work, he has been trained to progress, and I think there is a lot of improvement still to come from him. He has the engine and definitely has the potential to be a graded horse - Dusty Sheehy, trainer.”
“Captain Conby was always cantering everywhere and hopefully its onwards and upwards. He'll go for a novice hurdle now. It's a while since I've had one as good as him - Dusty Sheehy, trainer.”
