Sahrati landed a gamble at Fontwell earlier this month and wasn't disgraced when third under a penalty at Uttoxeter. Emma Sayer is one of the better lady amateurs around and should go close to another success but we just prefer ILLYSANTACHRISTINA. Successful off a higher mark over C&D last season, she does have form on heavy ground and is back over a more suitable trip today. Raajih has been most disappointing while Holden Caulfield was well behind the selection last time and the John O'Shea pair, Chevy To The Levy and My Viking Bay, may be too high in the weights at present.
