However, he’s very exposed now and heads here still winless from 11 starts. Meaning he could be prone to one of the newcomers improving past him – despite him having the experience edge. Yes, the in-form Billy Loughnane rides too, but I’m happy to take him on at the prices – based on his wins-to-runs record. Of the rest, the Haggas yard have a top 50% (4-8) SR with their 3yolds here – so their newcomer Flagbearer probably doesn’t have to be too good to win this on debut. And the same applies to Wootz, from the in-form Roger Varian camp. *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 Gordon Elliott is just 2-42 in the last 14 days** - **Trainer Ollie Sangster has a 41% SR in the last 14 days** - **Trainer Tim Easterby is just 3-81 in the last 14 days (3%)** - **Trainer Rod Millman has a 37% SR in the last 14 days** - **Trainer Clive Cox is just 1-24 in the last 14 days** - **Trainer George Boughey is 4-8 (50%) with his 2yolds at Ffos Las** - **3:30 Ffos Las: 3 of the last 6 winners stall 4** - **Trainer William Haggas is 4-8 (3yolds) and has a 57% overall SR at Catterick** - **Jockey Finley Marsh is 0-25 riding 3yolds at Ffos Las** - **Trainer William Haggas is 4-8 (3yolds) and has a 57% overall SR at Ffos Las** - **Trainer Philip Kirby is just 4 1-32 with his runners at Catterick** - **Trainer Michael Keady is 2-3 (67%) with his 2yolds at Lingfield** * * * ## **Today’s** Horse **Racing Longest Travellers** **Wild Orchid**\ Charlie Johnston\ Lingfield 17:48\ 271 miles **Slack Alice**\ Mickey Bowen\ Catterick 15:15\ 267 miles **Perfect Nation**\ George Boughey\ Ffos Las 15:00\ 241 miles **Ada Rose**\ Kevin Philippart De Foy\ Ffos Las 17:30\ 241 miles **Arbaawy**\ John Butler\ Ffos Las 16:30\ 239 miles **Flagbearer**\ William Haggas\ Ffos Las 16:30\ 239 miles **Mountain Of Light**\ James Horton\ Ffos Las 16:30\ 239 miles **Wootz**\ Roger Varian\ Ffos Las 16:30\ 239 miles ## **Horses Running Today That WON The Same Race Last Year *(UK & Ireland)*** - **3:30 Ffos Las: SOFIAN** - **8:00 Rosscommon: IL SILENZIO** ![](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: TUESDAY 4th August 2026** **💬** #### **5:48 Lingfield: LUNA BLOSSOM (14/1 [Midnite](https://affiliate.midnite.com/C.ashx?btag=a_3358b_322c_&affid=924&siteid=3358&adid=322&c=))** *“Lunar Blossom was very green at Newmarket first time out, but she goes okay at home.
