Hales considers options for Millers Bank
Ascot, Cheltenham and Kempton all in the mix.
Exciting novice chaser Millers Bank could head to Ascot on a recovery mission after blundering away a winning chance at Newbury on Friday. The Alex Hales-trained seven-year-old looked sure to score when left in the lead four out in a Grade Two at the Berkshire venue, but unseated Harry Bannister at the penultimate fence, leaving Nassalam to win with ease. Hopes were high last season’s Aintree Hurdle third would build upon a winning chase debut at Huntingdon, but now the Edgcote handler is having to re-think his options.👀 A dramatic event at @NewburyRacing
