Verdict

LITTLE BIG BEAR had legitimate excuses when trailing home last in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket 3 weeks ago so is well worth another chance to confirm the form of his devastating win in the Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh last summer. Bradsell was 1½ lengths behind Cold Case in the Pavilion Stakes at Ascot but that was his first run since suffering a season-ending injury in the Phoenix Stakes, so last year's Coventry winner may emerge as the biggest threat.

  1. LITTLE BIG BEAR (IRE)
  2. BRADSELL
  3. COLD CASE
