This looks even weaker than the first division. Just a head separated KAPPARIS KID and My Boy Jack over C&D last month and there shouldn't be much between them again, but the former has had valid excuses for his two defeats since and has also had fewer chances than his old rival, so he can confirm the placings. The shorter trip looks worth exploring with Miss Billie and she can prove best of the others.[David Bellingham]

Four wins over 6f including two on Polytrack, but she hasn't shown enough since returning from a year off last summer to suggest she will be winning this.
Doubled his winning tally when beating My Boy Jack by a head in a similar contest over C&D last month; possible to forgive his two defeats since and he seems likely to be involved.
Last win came in a handicap over C&D a year ago, but the veteran hasn't been firing lately and finished well behind Kapparis Kid and My Boy Jack here last month.
Hard to win with (3-60) and he failed to beat a rival in a Newcastle handicap (6f, Tapeta) six days ago; previous efforts, as when beaten a head by Kapparis Kid over C&D last month, put him right in the mix; blinkers return.
Sole success in 21 starts came in a similar event at Catterick (7f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in August, but his form has slumped of late and a major turnaround is required.
Out of the frame in all ten starts and latest efforts have been moderate, including on his return from seven months off at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) 11 days ago.
