Verdict
Compton's Finale hasn't been beaten far in both starts over the minimum without finding a finishing burst. CHESTNUT EXPRESS showed the benefit of an early run at the Curragh with a much better effort back there last month where he showed up well for a long way before fading close home. That could be good enough for this as Saltillo hasn't run since May but he looks the type to make progress and his stable continue to fire in the winners. That's Not Me showed a bit more dash at Dundalk last time and that could be her surface.
