In depth
Verdict
CITRUS MARK was in touch and going well when apparently losing his action and pulled up at Plumpton. His presence here suggests there were no lasting ill-effects and he looks capable of winning a race like this on his second run back following a break. Milgen Bay may just need this but will be a threat and Papradon made all at Towcester last month, though has never won off a mark this high. Surf And Turf continues to disappoint and Run Along Boy is one-paced while Finch Flyer looks to be out of his depth.
