Weekend Winners On Sky Sports Racing Handicap

Enthusiastic sprinter; heavily backed on stable debut at Bath three weeks ago (5f, good to firm) and overcame a tardy start to win decisively; the handicapper hasn't missed him with a 6lb rise but the way he travelled through that Bath contest offers hope of better; previous AW efforts lag behind his turf best but that could just be coincidence (sire has a higher strike-rate on AW than turf); strong claims.

Returned from a seven-month absence to record an impressive front-running success at Bath last week (just 1lb shy of her peak RPR); doesn't have to lead and her record for Oisin Murphy reads 2319241; big run can be expected under a 5lb penalty.

Two C&D wins last year; running okay on AW over the winter but he dropped in the weights and returned to form with a Nottingham success 18 days ago (5f, good; front pair clear); with the short-priced favourite refusing to race, that may not have been the strongest form but a 3lb rise is manageable; Sean Levey, who rode both Robert Cowell's last-time-out winners, is on Tourist this time.

Off the mark for new connections at the second attempt, gamely making all over C&D last month; weakened quickly in a Class 3 over C&D three weeks ago; others look stronger today.

Three wins, all at Newcastle, with the latest coming last month off a 6lb lower mark; not seen to best effect 17 days ago over 6f but it's likely that others in this field are better treated.
