DERBYSHIRE author Hilary Mantel is favourite to scoop this year's Orange Prize with her 10th novel, Wolf Hall.

The 57-year-old has been short-listed for the book prize for female authors.

In October, Wolf Hall – a fictional account of Henry VIII's adviser Thomas Cromwell – won her the Man Booker Prize for Fiction. Mantel is now 2-1 favourite with William Hill to add the Orange Prize for Fiction to the list.

The winner will be announced on June 9.
