Somnus lands dream victory

Somnus (12-1) sprung a major shock when lowering the colours of hot favourite Oasis Dream in the Stanley Leisure Sprint Cup at Haydock.

Richard Hughes had the John Gosden-trained market leader (8-11) up with the pace throughout, but the writing was on the wall a furlong from home as he had to get serious on the brilliant July Cup and Nunthorpe Stakes winner.
