Bbob Alula was placed off a similar mark here in September and returns to action along with He's Our Star, who won twice over a mile last season. Sweet Nature has only won a novices' race so far and didn’t stay 1m2f last time while both Wilson and THE BRITISH LION finished down the field at Lingfield earlier in the month. But the latter has posted a better effort since and back on a winning mark with a tongue-tie added for the first time, Alexandra Dunn’s charge may prove best of these.
