I've got my first Ultra at the end of March and the route is mixed terrain, road, rocky trail, softish trail and occasional sandy surface. Any recommendations for a mixed trail shoe? Was going to go for the Saucony Koa TR (my feet fit Saucony), but would rather not spend more than about £60 as I won't run any other mixed trail races this year.

Your budget limits you to shoes that are sold in sales or end of line shoes. You might strike lucky with something. Better would be to spend more and find a shoe that fits and is comfortable. Your feet are worth looking after and you may take to trail and offroad running.
I've never heard of shoes at those prices. Perhaps I ought to go north of the border!
Have a look at the Bushidos I was talking about. They're very good on harder packed trails and rock and very suitable for longer distances.
I've just bought some Inov8 X-Claw 275s which again are good for longer distances, but over softer terrain. I don't think they would stand up to a lot of road.
