      Verdict

      Wotadoll has proved frustrating on Turf this year but is better handicapped on this surface and was only beaten half-a-length over course and distance last month. Turanga Leela has found some form again and won by three lengths at Wolverhampton, though an 8lb rise looks harsh. BILLYOAKES was last here on his reappearance but that run will have blown away any cobwebs. He was running well off higher marks in the spring and has already been successful twice around here so gets the nod with Kraka and Charleston Belle probably the pick of the remainder.
