Whether Eddie Harty's veteran Captain Cee Bee makes the trip to the Cheltenham Festival has still not been decided.

The 13-year-old won the Supreme Novices' Hurdle back in 2008 beating subsequent Champion Hurdle winner Binocular.

He last visited the Cotswolds when third in the Queen Mother behind Sizing Europe in 2011 and ran a blinder when beaten less than three lengths by Hurricane Fly in the Irish Champion Hurdle last month.

Harty said: "The old boy's in great form, but I'm not sure what we are going to do with him just yet.

"He's in the County Hurdle, but we'll have to see what weight he gets and then make our minds up whether we come over (to Cheltenham) or not."
