Nonrunner
Running In Heels didn't perform well when strongly fancied under a penalty at Cartmel on Friday having scored on quicker ground at Market Rasen. WONGA SWINGER has had a break since easily seeing off Sweeping Rock at Exeter in April. The runner-up comes here with a penalty for last week's victory at Worcester so doesn't look up to reversing the form. Tim Vaughan tries Asockastar in a visor and Richard Johnson gets on board for the first time while the lightly-raced Mileva Roller could be on a fair mark after making a decent return to action after a long break.
