On what has been a relatively quiet day’s trading, Blue Square report money for Captain Cee Bee in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.  

Edward Harty’s charge had been trading at 25/1 on Tuesday morning but traders had to take evasive action as the money came in and the JP McManus-owned gelding is now a 14/1 shot.

 ‘We were taken by surprise with the money for Captain Cee Bee this morning and it had all the hallmarks of a tipping line,’ said Blue Square spokesman George Primarolo.

 ‘The horse was a ready winner at Punchestown when last seen in November and is an interesting contender for the opening race of the festival.’

 Elsewhere, Twist Magic remains the 8/15 favourite for Saturday’s Victor Chandler Chase at Ascot.
