Little Big Bear

Selected at: 13/8

Nothing went right for Little Big Bear in the 2000 Guineas last time out and he’s a much better horse than he was able to show. He was an awesome winner of the Phoenix Stakes over this trip at the Curragh last season and there are plenty of reasons to be confident that the return to sprinting can get him back to winning ways.
