Re: SANDOWN Sat 8th March... 2.05 Forest Pennant 7.5 pts e.w On bookings not first choice for PN but the claim of 7 pounds makes this more attractive and improved with two wins on each of its last two starts, win lto not as impressive but still did win and more likely to be suited by stronger pace in a race like this, unproven on good ground to an extent but has won on good to soft so not a complete no hoper as far as that is concerned. Wind Instrument 7.5 pts e.w Was beaten by Forest Pennant a couple of starts back and with claim on that one not as well treated as it may have been in comparison. However having bumped into a few and been a bit outclassed was fairly impressive lto when winning over further and the well beaten fourth that day has since won, should be doing best work at the end if not slightly outpaced early on evidence of last win. 3.15 Ashkazar 15 pts Good on the flat, was running n Group 2s at Royal Ascot and so impressive on hurdle debut, cruised into the race and pulled clear, did not do it really behind Franchoek but bounced back to form with easy enough success lto on C&D and third boosted that since with second in Garde 2, lots of possible improvement left and hugely respected with pipe's record in the race.Mon michel 7.5 pts e.w Moore does so well in these handicap hurdles and this oen was more fancied than eventual winner, Wingman for a similarish event at Newbury lto before a late withdrawl. Maybe better on softer but can go on good or at least has ran ok on it before. Risen in handicap but thats no surprise given its progressive form and an e.w alternative.
