He was obviously ready to run on NYD and a month is a long time to keep him ticking over. I just had it in my mind that he'd be more impressive than he actually was.https://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/29756589/captain-conan?post_id=528728535#528728535Agreed.

They went a slow pace (surprise) and when they quickened off the turn I seem to remember him dropping out rather quickly before running-on. My memory isn't brilliant, but that's how I recall it.https://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/29756589/captain-conan?post_id=528727077#528727077Leopardstown from memory.

Everything about his running style to date suggests staying is more his game than a real speed test. He has looked to get out-paced when those around him have quickened over hurdles, before running-on. I know he's hardly likely to up againshttps://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/29756589/captain-conan?post_id=528726839#528726839Disagree.
