Saddler's Doncaster decision on Tuesday

Connections will make a decision on Tuesday regarding Saddler's Rock's participation in next Friday's Doncaster Cup.

The four-year-old proved a major disappointment on his last outing when fading tamely in the Lonsdale Cup at York.

John Oxx's charge had previously taken the Goodwood Cup and the Currabeg handler feels that some of his string were off colour last month.

"We'll make a decision on Tuesday," said Oxx at the Curragh today.

"Some of my horses weren't quite firing in August. The scopes are all clean again but you always wonder are they really bouncing.

"We could also wait for the Prix du Cadran."
