Verdict
MISS MUGA has progressed with every run and won a similar contest at Ripon last time. Mick Channon's filly had Manderston behind on that occasion and had earlier finished well ahead of Jaci Uzzi so looks capable of following up here. Ciara Boo produced a better effort in this grade last month but a bigger threat could come from Articality, who showed improvement to finish second at Redcar a fortnight ago. Indian Lizzy makes most appeal of the remainder.
