Wolverhampton winner Dark Miracle and fellow handicap debutant AMJAADY are having a first run on Turf but the latter may have more scope on the surface so gets the nod. Patchouli looked to be coming to hand over course and distance 10 days ago and Fly Lightly was only beaten a head over the trip at Lingfield in March but El Picador is not improving. Silkstone hasn’t been beaten far in a couple of runs around here but is looking a little one-paced.
