Apprentice Oisin Murphy continued his irresistible rise with a 390/1 treble on Dungannon, Highland Colori and Soaring Spirits at Doncaster.
Thomas Hobson (9/2) could well return to Doncaster in two weeks' time for the November Handicap after winning for the fourth time in five starts. The John Gosden-trained three-year-old stuck on stoutly for Rab Havlin in the gluey conditions to lift the Download The Racing Post Mobile App Handicap by a head from the staying-on Kashmir Peak. Havlin said: "He's a very genuine horse and he's done nothing but improve all year. It's very testing ground that's drying out, but that's what he relishes. "He was suited by the step up to a mile and a half last time and travelled well all the way today. He could be the right sort for the November Handicap. I said that three runs ago, but it's up to the boss."Roachdale House (5/2 favourite), like Kingston Hill a son of Mastercraftsman, strutted his stuff to win the crownhotel-bawtry.com Nursery. Ryan Moore kept the Richard Fahey-trained youngster up to his work to score by two and a quarter lengths from Tancred. "He's still a big baby. Tony (Hamilton) felt he didn't stay the mile at Ayr last time out," said Fahey's assistant Robin O'Ryan. "He suggested we brought him back in trip and he's a nice horse for the future."
