Verdict

Wapping is consistent but hasn’t scored since landing a maiden over course and distance in 2015. He needs some help from the handicapper as he has to give 7lb here to PRENDERGAST HILL (NAP), if you take Callum Shepherd’s claim into account. Ed de Giles’ charge is 2lb lower than when winning at Windsor last summer and he’s been knocking on the door this term. Camakasi is 0-11 on Turf and was behind the selection at Kempton last month while Togetherness has only been placed once in seven career starts and has finished tailed off in both runs this year.
