Illyasantachristina was taking on decent opposition when well beaten at Fontwell last time but Bernard Llewellyn's mare has every chance of bouncing back dropping down a grade. The Good Guy is edging closer to another success, though has gone up 3lb since finishing a close second at Plumpton, while Ben Cee Pee M is probably capable of finding another win off his current mark, though hasn't raced since June. Tara warrior is probably in the handicapper's grip now, however, so we'll give a tentative vote to SENTIMENTALJOURNEY. Jonjo O'Neill's gelding is still a maiden but has only had five career starts and should come into his own over this longer trip.
