        Verdict

        Flutterbee scored over 7f here in July then was beaten over a mile on a return visit last week so it's surprise to see her running over this trip. King's Concerto ran easily his best race to date over the course and distance last week and wouldn't need much more to go one better but it's INDIAN SCOUT who gets the nod as he's just 1lb higher than when scoring here in June and Silvestre De Sousa has been booked. Megalala has numerous course victories to his credit amongst his 18 successes and can never be discounted at this sort of level.
