        Verdict

        SPIRITUAL ART has now gone 19 starts without a win on turf, which doesn't sound much of a recommendation, but she's been in winning form on the all-weather and a 13lb lower mark back on turf just might be enough to see her get her head in front. There's not much between Visions Of Johanna and Prince Blue on their recent efforts on the Polytrack and both have won on turf before while King's Road has the past form to get involved after a pipe-opener at Southwell last month.
