7:15 Doncaster Tips

Sea Of Kings is an interesting contender returning from a 245-day break, with the added angle of being gelded since last seen ??' something that could unlock further improvement. A lightly raced 4yo, his form reads well in the context of this race. He showed promise early, finishing 2nd on debut over 1m2f behind a now 93-rated rival, and continued with solid efforts in maidens and novices, including a strong 2nd at Kempton in a race that has worked out well. His handicap runs also suggest he’s better than his current mark. He was a close 5th in a competitive Class 3 over 1m3f behind a now 103-rated winner, and followed that with a respectable effort in a Class 2 over 1m6f, where several rivals are now rated 100+. Now dropping into Class 4 company off 83, he looks potentially well treated. Ground conditions should suit, and if the gelding operation brings improvement, he could have more to offer than his mark suggests.
