Going for Gold: Johnston gunning for Stradivarius with 'dream stayer' Dee Ex Bee

Dee Ex Bee is trainer Mark Johnston's latest candidate for the Royal Ascot marathon. He finished second in the Derby and fourth in last year's St Leger. Dee ExBee will race in Thursday's Group 3 Matchbook-backed Henry II Stakes at Sandown. The trainer is also going for Stradivarius in next month's Royal meeting. He first won the Gold Cup with Double Trigger in 1995. His stablemates include Making Miracles and Austrian School. Matterhorn is likely to represent the stable in a Matchbooks' Brigadier Gerard Stake. Dark Vision is bound for a Listed Matchrooms' Heron Staking.
