CAPTAIN TAKES COMMAND

An excellent round of jumping saw Captain Conan run out an easy winner of the Markel Insurance Henry VIII Novices' Chase at Sandown.
A winner at Cheltenham on his fencing debut, Captain Conan was sent off the 4-7 favourite for trainer Nicky Henderson and jockey Barry Geraghty on his step up to Grade One company.
Geraghty was positive from the off, setting the pace, and gained valuable lengths through a fine leap at the second-last to see off market rival Hinterland. He only had to be pushed out for a three-and-a-half-length verdict.
