Sandown - 15/02/08

[WoodyTHFC]

2.05 Crack Away Jack 15 pts Made two quite promising starts in the country so far over novice hurdles. On debut when backed quite well for a stable that when the money is down can be significant, it ran well for a long way before slightly fading to fifth in amongst some reasonable sorts, the fourth that day looks very decent, has won twice since and is reportedly one for the Arkle next year according to connections. Then it ran third behind the impressive Binocular lto at Ascot which again looks a decent run. Could be its day today. 3.45 The Package 7.5 pts e.w Tough task to give weight alll round and indeed could well find a couple too good on this extra weight but place claims at least. Good second behind Planet of Sound at Exeter and then was impressive next time at Newbury when a pretty comfortable winner. Disappointed after that but I am prepared to forgive that run somewhat as it was at Towcester and many horses can struggle there. 4.20 Inchloch 7.5 pts e.w Tough looking handicap but this one had some respectable runs on the flat and so far over hurdles. Bumped into some decent ones too in Pasco, Helens Vision, Aigle D'Or and whilst not in that league, it ran with some credit each time and this is more its thing. Was travelling well before a fall lto on handicap bow when set to make a positive move and chances today.
