Yusra (2/1), Lady Alavesa (4/1), Ruby Gates (5/1), Zafaranah (11/2), Hic Bibi (6/1), Elenora Delight (6/1), Sweet Nature (8/1), Make Magic (25/1), Helfire (28/1), Spanish Mane (40/1), Andalusite (50/1)

Yusra is progressing nicely and Lady Alavesa is holding her form well. However, topweight ZAFARANAH scored by the most comfortable short-head imaginable at Wolverhampton when a change of tactics produced significant improvement. She was travelling better than anything with just one behind her turning in before producing a telling turn of foot. A 4lb rise may not be enough to stop her with the likely strong gallop sure to suit.
