Sea faces Winter wait Arthur Moore is keeping his fingers crossed Sea Beat makes the cut for the Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham. The County Kildare handler saddled What A Charm to win the same Festival prize three years ago and Sea Beat, who carries the same colours, has done little wrong in his three starts over obstacles. Not disgraced in defeat in races won by Plinth and Ivan Grozny, the four-year-old made it third-time lucky at Naas in early February and is a best priced 16-1 for Cheltenham glory. However, with a mark of 123, he is still well down the list and needs plenty of those rated higher to withdraw to get into the final field. Moore said: "I think he'll run as long as he gets in, but it must be less than a 50-50 chance he'll make the cut at this stage. "We'll have a better idea once the confirmations are out next week, but we'd like to run him if we can. "He's in good form."
