Implicit found the step up to Listed company at Newbury too much last time but had rattled up a hat-trick before that. She has 4lb in hand on BLAME ROBERTA according the handicapper but James Tate’s filly has slightly more scope, though did make quite hard work of landing the odds at Leicester last time. Magical Duchess has been placed the last twice but neither her nor Kyroc look to have much of a chance at the weights.
