Formscan - Little Big Bear is clear of these rivals on ratings but has questions to answer after being found lame when last in the 2000 Guineas, so preference is for COLD CASE. Karl Burke's colt won the Commonwealth Cup Trial on his reappearance, showing a likeable attitude to come back after being headed. He won cosily enough in the end by a length and a half and appears likely to make another bold bid. Bradsell, third when favourite behind the selection at Ascot, heads the remainder.
