Elegant Erin was a winner at Beverley on her reappearance but could have been better drawn. Last year’s winner Ey Up It's Maggie has an even higher draw and has been treading water this season off her current mark. Keith Dalgleish runs two but Fashion Advice has been off the track for more than a year so most attention will be focused on VENTURA FLAME, who won on much softer ground here 11 days ago but handles quicker conditions just as well. Havagomecca looked to be coming to hand at Thirsk and looks a danger.
