In his penultimate start DREAM HOUSE narrowly denied Hard Solution at Redcar and both have done well since suggesting that form to be strong at this level. There was only a neck between them so off the same terms another good battle is likely but there is no obvious reason to expect reversal so Tim Easterby's charge gets the nod. Irish Raider Compton's Finale is respected despite being a long-standing maiden given his trainer's excellent record in Scotland.
