Irish import Stalingrad is 0-13 but looks well treated on his reappearance. Melody King is also returning from a break while Fashion Advice has been off the track for exactly a year but the latter’s stablemate Ventura Flame will strip fitter for last month’s run at Ayr and is a previous course and distance winner. GOOD EARTH didn’t get the run of the race when second at Beverley and can go one better today racing off the same mark ahead of Runninwild, who was badly drawn at Thirsk last month.
