Rogue Trader (pulled up last-time out) and Unzing (fell when last seen) both have their supporters in the two mile handicap chase at 3.20pm. They are now 7/1 and 6/1 respectively. Top-weight Leap Dearg who is a double course and distance winner, has shortened to 9/2 from 6/1. My Hometown is a notable non runner.
