I've always liked this horse and obviously will have to prove it retains its ability after a break.
With Sprinter Sacre hopefully heading to the Champion Chase will Henderson be tempted to send Captain Conan for the Ryanair as I can't see another Henderson entry. Won a grade 1 at Aintree over 2 1/2 miles.
It's a fair shout at the price. I know they always said he wasn't suited to Cheltenham though (despite the SDG form), so may be tempted to wait for Aintree. Also comeback run may be a little close to Cheltenham. I know with ss they were keen to have a reasonable break between comeback and Cheltenham so may go the same with this one.

Backed him for the CC last year... Was really disappointed when he pulled him... I think should still try him in the CC again...but definitely worth a dabble in the Ryanair if you got those odds... But I think Ryanair will be very competitive this year with Dynaste, Cue Card... Don Cossack and Champagne fever to say the least! But good luck!
