        Verdict

        A rare runner, not only in this grade, but also at this track for Henry Cecil, in the shape of Sting Like A Bee. He is clearly one of his yards lesser lights, but he should be good enough in this. Firozi has plenty of form at this level,but it will be a surpise if she is good enough in this, while Short Respite appreciated the drop in class when getting off the mark in a similar event at Beverley, although there was plenty of give underfoot that day and she may not act so well on this faster ground. Two Steps To Go is not so good on turf as he is on the All-Weather, but he should still be more than capable of taking a hand in the finish at this level.
