In depth
Verdict
Littlebiggie easily won what looked a decent point-to-point at Stradbally in April and may prove best of those with experience though all eyes will be on AURORA VEGA. She's the third foal of the brilliant Quevega, who has already produced the high-class Facile Vega and Princess Vega, both first-time-out winners. With her stable in solid form, Cloudy Waters, bred by Godolphin and a half-sister to three Flat winners, may prove best of the remainder.
