THE BEES KNEES shaped with plenty of promise under a positive ride when third on his hurdling debut here 20 days ago and could easily have a bigger performance in the locker now dropping back in trip slightly, so he receives the vote. Celestial Force and Hasanabad are the obvious threats having won on their respective hurdling debuts.
