I agree Cork, would certainly be a bit of a leap of faith bet, I just feel the drift out to 8/1 is an overreaction.
I backed Little Big Bear for this last year as insurance against him not staying, but I drew zero encouragement from what I just watched.
He’d actually won on Yielding to Soft ground in Ireland and another contest over 6f110yds and he should have showed up a lot better than he did.
He’s gone out like a light and finished stone cold last.
Noble Style and Sakheer have shown up a lot better in adverse conditions for a suspect stayer.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"“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.”
Happened last year i think.
He was way too keen early but, as Chezza said, he ran abysmally today. May not have trained on- will want to see him run again before drawing any conclusions, though.
It remains to be seen Mike but to my mind he is a classic fast 2 year old that will not train on at 3.
Little Big Bear had a setback at the end of last season and this may set him back mentally if he’s had a bad experience
Blackbeard as good is he is in the breeding sheds may get a recall if Aidan’s stable is in limbo…

On the other side of the coin the run would’ve taken some of the rust away.
Mike’s full stop returns
Pretty sure he put up sakheer and it’s now become a .
Little big bear pulled like a lunatic today was always finishing out the tele after that
Back to sprints will suit him better
Horses with top 2yo form have an excellent record in this so noble style, LBB and sakheer still the main contenders in my eyes
All bar eqtidaar won 2yo group races
All bar eqtidaar and queit reflection won a group 2 or group 1 at 2
Its premature to decide he hasn’t trained on after running over a mile on testing ground imo.
Once the dust settles he’ll be a player next month i reckon.

Noble style ran a terrible race then
Head all over the show never looked happy
I was very surprised he was turned out just 2 weeks after what will have been a hard race in the guineas
