Zafaranah returned to winning ways with a recent course and distance success and is only 4lb higher today but WIRRAL GIRL finished runner-up over today’s trip at Lingfield in Class 3 company last time having won over 6f before that and she gets the vote in her current form dropping back to this level. Curious Fox finished behind the selection on her latest outing but One More Chance and Wind Storm were both placed at the same meeting at Southwell last month. Zoraya gets another change in headgear while Elenora Delight may well improve for today’s shorter trip having placed over a mile on a couple of occasions.
