In depth
Verdict
It is safe to assume that Conducting would have needed his comeback run on the Fibresand. He missed the break and finished tailed off but his hurdles form last summer entitles him to respect. WHILE YOU WAIT won four times in this grade last year and landed a claimer on the Polytrack in January. He's the one to beat in this with Jolly Roger showing nothing on his return from a lengthy absence at Ludlow and Stow apparently on a downward curve and better on a softer surface.
