Verdict
Flutterbee arrives on the back of a couple of wins in Jersey but had looked high enough in the weights before that. Rajadamri, Eugenic and Bob's Boy all won over course and distance last month but have all been beaten off higher marks subsequently. Spinning Pearl won a seller at Goodwood last time and steps back down in trip as does Daily News, well beaten in three starts in maiden company so far. But SCENT OF POWER was beaten less than a length over today’s trip at Leicester recently and racing off the same mark today with Silvestre de Sousa taking over the reins, she gets the vote.
