In depth
Verdict
CELESTATION never threatened the winner when fourth at York last time but that was in Class 2 company and Mark Johnston’s filly will be more at home in this grade. Affair was placed in soft ground at Newbury last time and that looks stronger form than Miss Icon’s second over a shorter trip here. Washington Blue will need to step up on her latest sixth over track and trip but Implausible is a half-sister to winners and a newcomer to keep an eye on.
