Citrus Mark was made favourite on his reappearance at Plumpton eight days ago but weakened rapidly before the straight and was pulled up. He should strip fitter now but, even so, it's difficult to see him overturning that form with winner TECKTAL and with the latter able to race off the same mark here - Pat Phelan's charge gets the vote. Doyenne Dream ran her best race so far when runner-up over this trip at Uttoxeter last month but is still a maiden under Rules, while none of the others have shown much lately.
