Set to shoulder a 6lb penalty for a one length success (7f) at Chelmsford last time out and no obvious reason why he should be improving that much at present though, so the percentage call is to take him on today.
C&D winner from a mark of 60 in 2014 and has retained that sort of ability since, so looks more than capable of putting up a bold showing again.
Shown little to get excited about in nine starts both on the Flat and over hurdles and not hard to take on again today.
Landed a Chelmsford maiden last March before entering the grip of the handicapper. First-time blinkers may have helped her to show much more from today's mark over 6f here last time out and may be able to find the necessary now returned to 7f.
Receives a 4lb drop on official ratings to take into this, his first handicap and ran with promise here in the context of this race when making the frame in a maiden in December. 5lb claim will also help his cause and couldn't confidently rule him out.
Has recorded some reasonable performances in context of late, though needs to improve to be winning from this mark.
C&D scorer from a mark of 50 two years ago and not seen much action since, though two of those four subsequent runs have seen him finish runner-up. It may be that his December run will have helped to put him straight after a break and he could be a major player back over this trip.
Twice a C&D scorer some seasons ago and was still up to winning off today's mark at Kempton (7f) last April. Recent form is a concern however and the percentage call is to oppose again today.
Not seen since being tried at both 6f and 7f on turf last spring, making the frame on both occasions from today's mark. Step up in trip won't pose a problem and a good return run would not surprise.
Won a 7f Sandown handicap in July from 4lb lower and held from today's mark twice since then, so while she may go well she may also find one or two too good.
All three wins have been over shorter than today's trip and yet to convince he stays this far. May need more assistance from the handicapper too. Blinkers have failed to do the trick, so visor now being tried.
Been tried at a variety of trips and failed to inspire at any of them to date. Plummeting in the weights as a result, but hard to envisage him halting the slide.
Forecasts
Siege Of Boston (4/6), Bounty Pursuit (13/2), Declamation (15/2), Wink Oliver (8/1), Blackthorn Stick (14/1), Keene's Pointe (14/1), Doeadeer (14/1), Rising Sunshine (33/1), Cooperess (33/1), Humour (33/1), Raise The Game (66/1), El Tel (80/1)
If blinkers have a similar effect to last time out then DOEADEER could be the one to land the nightcap. Keith Dalgleish's filly went close over 6f last time and the extra furlong may well be to her advantage. Raise The Game is an interesting opponent who might be capable of running into a place, while Declamation and Bounty Pursuit are others to consider.
1. Doeadeer
2. Declamation
3. Raise The Game
