Verdict

Sting Like A Bee ran in some good company last season but has failed to recreate that juvenile form this season. However this is weak company and with his stable in good form any improvement could be good enough here. Lahberhorn is another well-bred type from a leading stable and while he remains the only probable danger to the favourite, he has looked a difficult ride so far and cannot be backed with any confidence.
