Bank Holiday Monday tips: Ross Millar's three best bets
By Ross Millar
Last Updated: Sun 24 May 2026
Top tipster Ross Millar has a couple of fancies at Cartmel on Bank Holiday Monday, and one at Leicester - enjoy both meetings live on Racing TV.
2.13 Cartmel: Masterminding
Makes his debut for trainer Jimmy Moffatt having relocated from the retired Maurice Barnes. He makes his handicap debut off a rating of 84 which, based on his best flat form and a promising hurdles outing at Kelso, looks more than fair.
Halfway House Lad, who made the same yard switch, is two from two, so there is a clear precedent for potential improvement.

3.58 Cartmel: Fairlawn Flyer
Has a good record of three from five at this track, and finished runner-up on the other two occasions.
Trainer Mickey Bowen endured a sobering first winter season as a sole named trainer, but has found better form for his string this summer.
Fairlawn Flyer is yet to conclusively prove he stays this trip, but often finishes strongly over three miles. He's on a winnable mark, and can strike here.
4.50 Leicester: First Legion
Ran better than the bare result at York last time out, as racing freely in the early stages in order to hold a position from an inside draw meant he raced inefficiently before the trip stretched his stamina.
Six furlongs on a stiff track will suit, and this mark of 89 is certainly not beyond him.
