'He's taken them in his stride' - Tadreeb completes course-and-distance hat-trick with £40,000 bonus in his sights

Tadreeb's remarkable resurgence continued when he completed a course-and-distance hat-trick in the space of 11 days in the 7f handicap.
The seven-year-old maintained his perfect record for Rod Millman with a half-length success under Oliver Searle. The trainer hopes his rapid haul will be enough to secure the £40,000 first prize for Arena Racing Company's all-weather horse of the month.
"We obviously inherited a well-handicapped horse," Millman said. "What really swung us to race again so quickly was the bonus, it's great prize-money and adds a bit of spice to the season.
"I'd never really run a horse so quickly three times on the bounce, but he was the same weight getting on the lorry as he was for his first run. He's taken them in his stride."
It was a fifth course-and-distance success for Tadreeb, who will have a well-earned break before returning to the track next month.
Millman added: "It's probably too late for him to go for the big horse of the season bonus as he didn't come to hand early enough, but the wins have been great for Oliver too.
"He's almost like another assistant trainer for us. It's lovely to have a horse like this for him to repay that faith."
Perfect result
Perfect Ruby was awarded the opening division of the mile handicap in a stewards' inquiry after the first past the post, Manton Road, caused interference before the line.
Loughnane's happy return
Billy Loughnane struck on his first ride back following a stint in Australia on Stage Winner in the 7f novice.
