Division two of the auction maiden and it is hard to look beyond BANDANAMAN who is selected to land it on his second start. Sharp Soverign and Topolski could well emerge as the biggest dangers to the selection. Very little promise has been displayed by any outside of the selection who finished second on debut at Thirsk. The form has not been franked by those around him since but on that particular day he looked as though he would benefit for the run. Mark Johnston's horses are running out of their skin at the moment and Topolski is hindered by the outside draw here. More can be expected while Sharp Sovereign, an American bred juvenile, is another to have displayed a glimmer of promise to give connections some hope that a victory can be achieved at some point down the line. Dance Society and Aven Mac are others to consider but Bandanaman is selected to break his maiden tag at the second time of asking.
