Verdict
There are question marks hanging over most of these and WOTCHALIKE is only a token selection. He has at least won over this distance and wasn't disgraced when sixth at Musselburgh in February on his only recent racecourse appearance. Beau D'Argent is surely better than she's shown so far while Treason Trial and Birnies Boy will probably complete in their own time, though the former fell at Southwell last time and the latter has been off the track since July last year. Miss Tarantella found 2m1f too sharp here last week and may be the pick of the remainder.
