Cee Bee team plot Champion route

CONNECTIONS of Captain Cee Bee will discuss plans for the classy two-mile chaser following a smooth victory on his reappearance at Naas on Saturday.

Having put his disappointing run in the Arkle behind him at the Punchestown Festival, the Queen Mother Champion Chase is his ultimate aim.

The Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown on December 4 and Leopardstown’s Christmas meeting are among the short-term options for the nine-year-old, owned by J P McManus.
