Today, these nodules and meganodules are comprised of a fine-grained, alabastrine variety of secondary gypsum.

He ran well on his only appearance last year at Newmarket and is preferred to National Pride and Alabastrine.

In this zone, the unit, deposited in a sabkha coastal setting (Alonso and Mas, 1982), is formed by alternating centimetre to metre horizons of dolomicrite and alabastrine gypsum, which preserve abundant chicken-wire structures.

Some are still quite wintry in their coats and we'll wait for them to come to themselves, but there are a few that might show up well relatively early, including Dharori (c Captain Rio - Sliding), Enigma Code (c Elusive Quality - Tempting Fate), Eternal Luck (c Tagula - Erne Project), Red Illusion (c Redback - Mystery Bid) and Tat-beeq (f Invincible Spirit - Announcing Peace), and some nice ones for later on, such as Al Barouche (Sadler's Wells - Alakananda), Ebn Malk (c King's Best - Auntie Maureen), Faarsee (c Medicean - Persian Air), Island Vista (f Montjeu - Colorvista), Magistrate (c Nayef - Alabastrine), Red Dune (f Red Ransom - Desert Beauty), Two Pass (f Mtoto - Pass The Peace) and Yad-dree (c Singspiel - Jathaabeh).
