Thomas Hobson up for the cup at Doncaster Thomas Hobson is the only Irish representative in the Doncaster Cup on Friday. Willie Mullins' dual-purpose performer won and finished second at Royal Ascot, but was below that level when only seventh in the Lonsdale Cup at York. Montaly came out on top on the Knavesmire and is among Thomas Hobson's eight rivals again. The respective last two winners of the Doncaster Cup take them on - David Simcock's Sheikhzayedroad and the Sir Mark Prescott-trained Pallasator. Clever Cookie is back up in class having run in the Ebor, while High Jinx, runner-up in 2012 and 2013, has another crack. Fun Mac, a winner in France last time out, represents Hughie Morrison, with She Is No Lady going for Ralph Beckett. The sole three-year-old is David Elsworth's Desert Skyline.
