Mucuna won at Salisbury when upped to today’s trip for the first time. But the runner-up GARGLE was having her first outing since January and making her handicap debut. Re-opposing on more favourable terms, the Hannon filly gets the vote. Both Girl Inthe Picture and Birkie Girl finished behind the selection and Aryaah looks a bigger threat on his first start over this far having ran well at Wetherby last week.
