This is a bit more competitive than the first division but still little better than a seller. AAMAN (NAP) was beaten by Goal in a the lowest grade at Southwell last month but the winner went on to finish second at Fakenham and the third was placed at Newcastle at the weekend so that form may well be good enough. Shaddaii won at Huntingdon last month but is 6lb higher. Brin D'avoine is dropped in class but has yet to show much so far and Ayla's Emperor disappointed at Wincanton after a second at Plumpton. Blue Top improved in the autumn with a second to the useful Solstice Star here in November but hasn't raced since.
