This is even less competitive than the first division and BILLING probably won't have to improve much on his close second at Southwell to go one better. He has the beating of Haling Park on that run. Marie Deja La won here in April and, despite struggling off higher marks at the track since, looks the danger though Bracken House can't be ignored as he's only had three runs since arriving from Ireland won at Towcester in October. Shot In The Dark and Dazzling Rita have hinted at ability but don't look very trustworthy.
