Zawraq winning fitness fight

Zawraq is reported to have made “substantial improvement” in his race against time to be fit for Saturday’s Investec Derby at Epsom.

Dermot Weld’s unbeaten colt is among the leading fancies for the premier Classic, but after completing a satisfactory piece of work on Tuesday morning, he was found to have been slightly lame upon his return to the yard.

Initial X-rays and scans suggested the injury was not serious and his leg has been iced since.
