Verdict

CLASSICAL STING was unable to land the odds at Catterick in December but it was by no means a bad effort in second and given the impression he created prior to that, this mark should be well within range, He can get back on the up, with Hawk Stone and Urblereagh (on chase debut) perhaps the main opposition.
