JAMIE Spencer, fresh from completing a five-timer at Yarmouth the evening before, continued his excellent run when Charlie Hills’ 9/2 chance Phoenix Of Spain proved too good for market leader Watan in the Group 3 Tatersalls Acomb Stakes over seven furlongs.

Watan, a fluent winner on his debut at Goodwood, had his supporters roaring when Murphy moved him smoothly into contention, but Spencer, challenging towards the stands’ side, brought Phoenix Of Spain through to score quite comfortably by a length and a half, Persian Moon taking third.
