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.
