Durkan date for Captain Cee Bee
The Edward Harty-trained nine-year-old, winner of the Grade 1 Ryanair Novice Chase at last season’s Punchestown festival, figures among 24 entries for the Grade 1 chase over 2m4f on December 5 and the trainer confirmed him to be on course for a tilt at the race.
Harty said: “The horse is in great form at the moment and will run on December 5 at Punchestown. It will be the first time that we have gone beyond two miles with him.
