Gaspirali finished ahead of Awesome Quality and Nomadic, who run in the first division, last time so we should have good guide to his chances. Hunter Jack has shown promise in both starts while Taneen was sent off favourite on his debut at Salisbury and will know more today. Haydock fourth Fatherly Friend is another likely improver but we'll take WIMPOLE HALL to go one better than when only beaten a neck by Dutch Gallery here last month as he may well have prevailed had he settled a little better in the early stages. Clock Watcher is entered in a couple of valuable sales races here in the autumn so is worth noting with those in mind.
