In the hope that he's ready to roll following a break, BIG BARD gets the nod in this competitive handicap. He wasn't seen to best effect when bidding for the hat-trick at Chelmsford in November and there could be more to come from this lightly-raced 4-y-o. Phoenix Star promises to be suited by the return to 6f and he is next on the list ahead of Mister Bluebird and G'Daay.
