GASPIRALI stayed today's trip well enough when runner-up over course and distance last week and should go close in an uninspiring contest. Show Me Again can figure if he lasts home but Rateel is proving disappointing. Mistymoistymorning has failed to figure in handicaps so far and stablemate Belle Vale has yet to threaten in maiden company. Nutbourne Lad made the frame at Salisbury last time but was still beaten over seven lengths.
