Plenty with claims in this though Zafaranah has something to prove over today's trip after scoring over 7f at Wolverhampton and Spanish Mane is upped in class having won over the same distance at Musselburgh in August. Hic Bibi went close in a lower grade at Lingfield last time while stablemates Yusra and Elenora Delight remain unexposed with the former placed over track and trip on her handicap bow. Sweet Nature won over a mile before struggling over 1m2f but RUBY GATES (NAP) was beaten only a nose in Class 3 company at Wolverhampton recently and a similar effort should see Paul D'Arcy's mare get her head back in front.
