    In depth

    Verdict

    Wotadoll has performed nicely enough on three starts this term but this does represent a step-up in class and WALK ON WALTER makes most appeal in a trappy little heat. The sole three-year-old in the line-up is progressing well for David Simcock and the distinct feeling last time was that he did not get home over a seventh furlong and moving back to this sprint trip will suit ideally. Mamillius goes very well around here and has an obvious claim, as does Lightning Charlie, not beaten at all far last time in a hot Goodwood handicap. If the latter produces his best, he rates a very potent threat to the selection.
