Wee Wern’s victor in the Des Pyramides final Alison Waters, continues to claw her way back towards a Top 10 place following the win in Paris, her fourth of the year so far.  The Englishwoman climbs 8 places to make her first top 20 appearance in 11 months

Aisling Blake moves up four places to No. 23, and New Zealand pair Kylie Lindsay and Amanda Landers-Murphy move up two and four spots respectively, with Landers-Murphy achieving a career high at No. 45.
