Placespotter - Sandown 4.15 6 Willoughby Hedge - each way 10/1

PLACESPOTTER -: a decent 3 mile Chase at last and a lot of focus will be on the
top pair, Cogry is back over fences having won over hurdles, a talented horse
but one you have to watch from behind a cushion every time it leaves the ground;
Pete The Feat was a surprise winner in some eyes of his last race, the Stewards
were certainly shocked, he has won off this mark and clearly in fine fettle but I'm
not sure that (a) the price is real value and (b) that they really want him to have
another weight rise, I suspect they have an end of season race in mind and
therefore just a hunch that this is a "tick over" race to keep him fit for the better
ground of early spring. Many of the others are unexposed or lack real experience,
there could be a dark horse but one who catches my eye is WILLOUGHBY HEDGE.
 
He had a long injury lay off and possibly will never fulfil obvious potential to the 
full, however he won at Doncaster impressively last season off this kind of mark;
he has started slowly this season but this looks a slightly easier opportunity;
the yard is in full throttle mode form wise, this Going; trip look ideal and I think
10/1 represents cracking each way value.
