Tadreeb maintained his perfect start for trainer Rod Millman with a second win in six days when impressively landing the 7f handicap.

The seven-year-old was previously trained by Michael Attwater before striking on his stable debut last week. He completed his rapid double for his new yard under Oliver Searle by a length and three-quarters. 

It was a fourth course-and-distance success for Tadreeb, but he had been on a 15-race winless run before switching to Millman's care.

"He's obviously in very good form and we've been very lucky to inherit him, as he's a very nice horse," the trainer said. "He's got very good back form and was quite classy in his day. Michael did very well with him, but sometimes a change of yard can just perk them up again."

Tadreeb is set to be quickly turned out for a hat-trick bid and Millman added: "We'll be looking at running him here next week. 

"There's a monthly bonus for wins that Arc put on and we have that in the back of our minds, but we all know plans can go wrong!"

Harvester hat-trick

Carbine Harvester could be bound for the All-Weather Championships finals after he completed his hat-trick in the 6f handicap.

His owners include retired Sky News business presenter Jeff Randall, who said: "I really believed three races ago we were going to give him away to a riding club in the Cotswolds, but now we're dreaming of finals day because he's that good."

Odds-on shock

Harry Charlton got off the mark for the new year when Kiniro shocked 1-6 favourite Left Over Love in the 6f maiden.
