But is up 6lbs for that and had a 5lb claimer on that day and only has a 3lb claimer this time. All this means he’s 8lbs higher, plus is also up in class today from C5 to C4 and so for me I just feel he’ll need to take another step forward today. *Note: Some picks can drift during the day (obviously we have no control of that) – but I’d say if they hit 8.0+ they are prob best left (for obvious reasons).* * * * ## **Worth Knowing Today – Horse Racing Stats and Fun Facts** - **Trainer TG McCourt is just 1-41 at Naas** - **3:47 Naas: Stall 7 has won the last 2 – Darkdeserthighway** - **Trainer Gerard O’Leary is 8-27 with his 4+yolds at Naas** - **4:17 Naas: A Oliver has won 2 of the last 5, Enchanted Lady** - **4:47 Naas: Aidan O’Brien and Ger Lyons have won 4 of the last 6 (2 each)** - **Trainer Gordon Elliott is just 2-40 in the last 14 days (5%)** - **Trainer Willie Mullins has a 31% SR overall at Cork** - **Trainer George Scott is 4-8 (50%) with his 2yolds at Ripon** - **Trainer Ollie Sangster has a 44% SR in the last 14 days** - **Trainer Tim Easterby is just 2-79 in the last 14 days (3%)** - **3:54 Ripon: Stall 3 has produced the last 3 winners + 5/7 stalls 3 or 4 – Rousing Encore (3), Saint Lawrence (4)\** - **3:54  Ripon: Trainer Tim Easterby has won 3 of the last 7 renewals – Boston Dan** - **4:24 Ripon: 9/10 winners stalls 1-3** - **Trainer Rod Millman has a 37% SR in the last 14 days** - **5:10 Nottingham: 6/9 winners stalls 4 or 5 – Theme Park (4), Symphony Of Joy (5)** - **Trainer Richard Spencer is 4-6 with his 3yolds at Windsor** - **Trainer Charlie Johnston is just 2-49 (4%) at Nottingham** - **Trainer Dominic Ffrench Davis has a 60% (3-5) SR with his 4+yolds at Windsor** * * * ## **Today’s** Horse **Racing Longest Travellers** **Queen Sana**\ Ollie Sangster\ Ripon 14:54\ 224 miles **Lola De Valence**\ Rod Millman\ Nottingham 15:10\ 205 miles ## **Horses Running Today That WON The Same Race Last Year *(UK & Ireland)*** - **No horses running today that won the same races last season (Mon 3rd Aug)** ![](https://media.readhorseracing.com/readhorseracing/2026/06/Midnite-Banner.jpg) * * * ## **FROMTHESTABLES – Get Top Daily Info Direct From The BEST Trainers** You can receive top Trainer Info Direct To Your Inboxes….EVERY MORNING (Daily FREE Quote Below) **Take a Look For Yourself –**[**JOIN FTS FOR JUST £1 HERE**](https://www.fromthestables.com/14daysfree/quotes/50/) **with PROMO CODE** ***‘POUNDTRIAL’*** ### **Today’s FREE QUOTE: MONDAY 3rd August 2026** **💬** #### **3:40 Nottingham: HARRY’S POP (14/1 [Midnite](https://affiliate.midnite.com/C.ashx?btag=a_3358b_322c_&affid=924&siteid=3358&adid=322&c=))** *“Harry’s Pop starts handicapping on a tough enough mark.
