Formscan  - Oscar Doodle made the most of a switch into classified stakes company when winning with authority at Chelmsford last month. However, the four-year-old may find life tougher on the return to handicap company off a 5lb higher mark than his penultimate third-placed finish over this C&D earlier that month. With that in mind, it could pay to take a chance on BALQAA, who races off the same mark as her nose second here last week. The in-form We Still Believe is another viable alternative.
