MISS MULLIGAN has the most scope having finished runner-up in soft going at Newmarket on her handicap debut. George Scott’s filly makes most appeal with further progress on the cards. It was testing ground when Elegant Love placed at Newbury earlier and she’s preferred to Bath runner-up Ascraeus while Able Grace recorded her novice win in soft ground at Haydock. So I Told You drops down in class and distance and is preferred to Special Secret of the remainder.
