Verdict

Not only is LITTLE BIG BEAR's form 10 lb+ clear of the opposition on Timeform ratings, he also has the scope for plenty of progress so there's no desire to look elsewhere. John Gosden used the same Yarmouth maiden won by Far Shot last week to introduce the 2016 winner of this race and he is feared, with Union Court completing the shortlist following a faultless start to her career.

  1. LITTLE BIG BEAR (IRE)
  2. FAR SHOT (IRE)
  3. UNION COURT
