Harty considering options for Cee Bee Trainer Eddie Harty is unsure where Captain Cee Bee will turn up next following the veteran's excellent run in defeat in Sunday's Irish Champion Hurdle. It is almost six years since the dual Grade One winner enjoyed Cheltenham Festival glory in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle and at the age of 13, it is fair to assume his peak years are behind him. That said, he performed with huge credit to finish third in Sunday's feature event, beaten less than three lengths by the brilliant Hurricane Fly having cut out the running, leaving his trainer rightly proud of his teenager's efforts. Harty said: "It was a great run and it's hard to know where we'll go with him now, as he's not in the Champion Hurdle. "Hopefully the handicapper won't do too much to him. Hopefully there is the option of going for a handicap if we want to go down that road. "He's not going to be winning a Grade One now I don't think, but he is a 13-year-old and he is obviously still capable of running good races. "He's not going to be running every day of the week at his age, so we'll scour the programme book and see where we go with him."
