This looks a straight match between THE BOSS'S DREAM and Charlie Breekie with narrow preference for the former. He has 7lb extra but won by 18 lengths here 12 days ago and looks to be on the upgrade. Ben Pauling's charge hasn't raced since a second at Sedgefield in May and none of the others make much appeal with newcomer Monkey Rum looking nothing special on breeding.
