Captain goes to Naas on Saturday

Arkle favourite Captain Cee Bee is due to have his final run before the Cheltenham Festival in Saturday's BBA Ireland Ltd Opera Hat Novice Chase at Naas.

Eddie Harty's Supreme Novices' Hurdle winner tipped up at the last when looking the likeliest winner of the Bord Na Mona Chase on his last start, leaving Sizing Europe to come home unchallenged.

Previously he had won a beginners chase at Naas from Zaarito - an impressive winner since - and An Cathaoir Mor who subsequently landed the Irish Arkle.

Captain Cee Bee is one of 10 entries that also include Fosters Cross, Dancing Tornado and Major Finnegan.
