Spiritual Lady is penalised for last year’s Listed success on today’s card and has yet to show her best in a couple of outings so far this season. She’s giving weight to the two-year-old CONSEQUENCES in this and the latter gets the vote on his earlier effort in the Norfolk Stakes having failed to run his race in testing ground in France last time. Ocean Temptress won a handicap at Leicester recently but has plenty to find at the weights and Rajar is preferred dropping back down in trip.
