Verdict

RUNNING IN HEELS was fortunate to collect at Sedgefield last time, but is still a solid yardstick at this level, and is preferred to Ange de Malberaux, who has already benefited from the Dan Skelton bounce. Forrardon Xmoor starts off for Gordon Elliott after a lengthy layoff, but won't want for fitness, and could be well treated.
