Compass Hill remains "a possibility" to run in the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster next month.

The American-bred son of Mizzen Mast filled the runner-up spot behind Lucida in a Naas winners' race last month, with trainer John Murphy giving him time to develop since that pleasing debut effort.

The form of the six-furlong event at Naas has since been well advertised as t he winner finished a neck second to Cursory Glance in the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh on Irish Champions Weekend.

Murphy said: "We gave him a break after his first run and are not going to overuse him at two.

"We will aim more for his three-year-old career.

"He's a real nice horse and didn't have much luck in running at Naas.

"He might have won, only for that, but is a particularly nice horse.

"He'll be a miler, and the Racing Post Trophy is still a possibility ."
