BBOB ALULA has done all his winning over shorter trips so far including at Brighton last time but this is a weak contest and he gets another chance. Uther Pendragon has been thereabouts at Bath but has yet to win on the all-weather in 23 attempts while Tawtheef finally opened his account when winning at Wolverhampton in December and returns to action. Too Shy Shy hasn’t won for nearly two years and London hasn’t won anywhere yet.
