Is it worth asking at Heathrow if they can just check the bag LHR-DOH-Asia? I'm guessing not. And the length of time (almost 27 hours) might pose a further issue.

I think I'm going to go with the booking regardless - a 2h5m connection at DOH should be fine, and if not I'll try to move the first leg of the SJH-DOH-Asia booking to a later time.

Thanks all.
Also note that if you are doing a turnaround in SHJ and you actually have to pick up your baggage, there is very little chance you'll have time to to pick it up and check-it back on the flight.
Chances are check-in might be closed well before your bag hits the carousel.
