Forecasts

Miss Mulligan (7/4), Elegant Love (3/1), Ascraeus (7/2), So I Told You (4/1), Special Secret (6/1), Able Grace (16/1)

This drop back in trip poses a slight question but MISS MULLIGAN otherwise makes plenty of appeal having chased home a progressive type on her handicap debut at Newmarket in August. Testing conditions won't be an issue for Elegant Love and she is feared most ahead of Ascraeus, who boasts strong form claims but it remains to be seen if she can cope with ground this slow.
