Charlie Huggins finds a Sandown winner - find out the rest of his tips for Saturday's Premier racing on ITV

Charlie Huggins had 9-4 and 2-1 winners from three tips on Friday and is back with his advice on all eight ITV races on Saturday, including the Premier meetings at Chester and Sandown . . .


1.30 Beverley
William Hill Silver Cup Handicap, 1m4f

Charlie's tip: Walter Hartright

This dual course-and-distance winner had his four-race winning streak ended by Lieber Power at Chepstow last time. The winner of that Racing League handicap was beaten only a neck when attempting to follow up in the same competition at Windsor off 5lb higher, and lost out by the same winning margin when upped another 1lb at York's Ebor meeting. There does not look to be another equally progressive rival in this so Walter Hartright should return to winning ways.

1.50 Sandown
Sky Bet Extra Places Every Day Handicap, 7f 

Charlie's tip: Spanish Blaze

Won on this card last year and has overall course-and-distance form figures of 112. The form of his Glorious Goodwood third on his penultimate start reads well as the winner Great Chieftain followed up off a 6lb higher mark and the fifth Treasure Time landed a more valuable 16-runner handicap from the same mark at York last Friday.

2.05 Beverley
William Hill Beverley Bullet Sprint Stakes (Listed), 5f

Charlie's tip: Commanche Falls

Ran well in first-time blinkers to finish third when giving weight all round in a 19-runner handicap at York last Saturday and the headgear is retained here. Commanche Falls finished in front of Quinault, who has won a couple of Listed races since, by three lengths on his penultimate start in a Group 3. Reverting to Listed level, company he was won twice in, should suit the Michael Dods-trained seven-year-old and the drop to 5f is not a concern, given he chased home subsequent Group 2 winner and Nunthorpe runner-up Believing over that trip at Haydock in June.

2.25 Sandown
Sky Bet Atalanta Stakes (Group 3) 

Charlie's tip: Tamfana

Upwards of 5lb clear of her rivals on ratings yet receives 6lb from the four-year-olds here. Tamfana failed to stay 1m4f when fourth in last month's Grand Prix de Paris but the drop from Group 1 company and stepping back to a mile should suit. David Menuisier's filly was fourth in the 1,000 Guineas the last time she encountered this trip and the form of her Prix de Diane third has been franked by the runner-up and fourth — Survie and Aventure — winning Group 2 races at Longchamp and Deauville. That Classic-placed effort is clear of anything her opposition have achieved.

2.40 Chester
Livescore Bet Handicap, 7½f

Charlie's tip: Under Siege

Chased home Dante and Prix Guillaume d'Ornano winner Economics when second of 17 on his debut at Newbury in April, so this 15-runner field should not be too much of a culture shock on his handicap debut. A rating of 94 could underestimate Under Siege, considering he was also runner-up to subsequent Thoroughbred Stakes winner Lead Artist at York in May, and the three-year-old's Chelmsford maiden win 16 days ago should have put him spot on for this.

3.00 Sandown
Sky Bet For The Fans Handicap, 1m2f 

Charlie's tip: Balmacara

Won a couple of soft-ground novice events over 7f at Doncaster before chasing home Persica on his handicap debut and first try at 1m2f here last month. The winner went on to finish third in the Group 3 Winter Hill Stakes at Windsor behind former Group 1-placed My Prospero and the consistent Certain Lad. Balmacara returns to this track and trip off a 6lb higher mark but given he was 13 lengths clear of the third, he has to be respected.

3.15 Chester
Virgin Bet Chester Stakes (Listed), 1m6½f

Charlie's tip: Caius Chorister

David Menuisier's mare was a Group 3 winner at Saint-Cloud over this sort of trip in October and has run in Group company in all four starts since, including when failing to stay in the Gold Cup and finishing fourth in the Lillie Langtry. Menuisier revealed a post-race blood test identified a viral infection, meaning she was not at her best in a Glorious Goodwood Group 2 that has worked out reasonably, with the runner-up Night Sparkle going on to finish fourth in the Lonsdale Cup. The five-year-old should go close on her first start in Listed company since being beaten a length by subsequent Group 2 Lonsdale Cup runner-up Al Nayyir last September.

3.35 Sandown
Sky Bet Solario Stakes (Group 3), 7f

Charlie's tip: Tiger Mask

Got off the mark at the third attempt in a 7f good-ground novice at Ascot last month and encounters that trip and going description here. Karl Burke's juvenile was fourth in the Vintage last time and the form of the Glorious Goodwood Group 2 was boosted by Cool Hoof Luke, who finished a short-head in front of Tiger Mask, landing the Gimcrack at York. The son of Havana Grey looks overpriced considering he also finished in front of Coventry runner-up Electrolyte at Goodwood and is dropping to Group 3 company.
