Second in order of preference (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

next best

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">second in order of preference</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for next best that I've seen before include "Second in order of preference" , "Not quite the top quality" , "Not quite the finest" , "Not the first in order of preference, but following closely" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
