    Little Big Bear might be on a lot of shortlists here if he fails to stay the Rowley Mile, but one who looks a sprinter through and through to me is Mischief Magic, today’s Sirenia Stakes winner at Kempton Park.

    By Exceed And Excel, full brother to Sound Of Silence, and very speedy in my view.

    Noble Style looks the one if LBB does stay a mile. Marshman looks a talented fast horse to me and Noble Style picked him off no bother at York in a time only 0.6 seconds slower than the Nunthorpe. I have my doubts about Noble Style getting a mile.

    Little big bear and noble style look the standout contenders to me at this stage

    The middle park and Cheveley park will tell us more

    “Noble Style picked him off no bother at York in a time only 0.6 seconds slower than the Nunthorpe.”

    The Gimcrack is 6f, the Nunthorpe is 5f.

    The latter was 0.32s fast for 5f, the former 0.31s slow for 6f.

    Noble Style, for sure, clocked a good time for a 2yo, though.

    “The Gimcrack is 6f, the Nunthorpe is 5f.”

    Apologies, yes, I should’ve added it was relatively fast for a sprint.

    I essentially agree with you, Mike, taking weights carried and weight-for-age into account, it looks a decent time for a 2yo by Noble Style.

    Exciting colt.

    Trillium enters the equation too.

    I agree – they’ve pulled well clear of the OR 104 third and that’s decent form IMO.

    Just 1.64s outside standard – time of the day by a country mile so far.

    14/1 with William Hill.

    Little big bear 8/1 (cash)
    Noble style 10/1 (free bet)

    My two here

    Both could be very good sprinters and may trouble the older horses later in the season

    Pavilion stakes tomorrow full of plenty of likely types

    Should be an excellent race

    Bradsells conventry win beating Persian Force, Royal scotsman and blackbeard looks the best piece of form on offer

    Mischief magic has a penalty to carry for winning at the breeders cup and being by exceed and excel would prefer better ground

    Trillium has ability but looked a 5f horse in the Cheveley park stakes, running way too freely and giving herself no hope

    Charlie fellowes seems to think marbaan will be better dropped to 6f and says he did a nice piece of work the other day

    Even allowing for conditions going against him, it was a moderate effort. There is still far too much to take on trust. He might not have trained on.

    Training a horse to try to win over a mile and then expecting him to win over 6 furlongs just a few weeks later is not straightforward.

    CAS he pulled like a train. Put a line through it i reckon.
