Wapping debuts for new connections having won at Brighton in June last year when last in action. But WIMPOLE HALL is taken to go in again having won nicely over track and trip a week ago with most of today’s penalty negated by the talented Nicola Currie’s allowance. Of the remainder, both Hairdryer and Shamrokh finished second on their latest starts at Kempton and Newcastle respectively but Nonios looks a bigger threat on his third in this grade at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago
