Mecca's ready for Paris Paul Mulrennan is counting down the days to Mecca's Angel aiming to follow up her Nunthorpe win in the Prix de l'Abbaye next weekend. The Michael Dods-trained filly delivered on her promise when scorching the turf at York to reel in giant American two-year-old Acapulco. All Mulrennan is hoping for is sufficient give in the ground to allow her to showcase her talents once more in Paris. "She's in great condition and I'm really looking forward to it," he told At The Races. "They're calling the ground soft at the moment and hopefully it stays like that. "The ground should be perfect for her, you've got to remember she broke the track record out there on good ground. "As long as it's good or good to soft and as long as there's no jar we'll be going there next week and we couldn't be happier with her - we all saw how good she was at York. "Her coat is great, her weight is good and she was jumping out of her skin. "It's hard to believe she only won a Group One a few weeks ago. All credit to Michael, he's been keeping a lid on her."
