Trainer Richard Hannon has ambitious plans including the Melbourne Cup for Windshear after his success at Doncaster.

Hannon is looking all the big staying races for the talented colt, whose consistency was rewarded with his first success for 11 months in Sunday's Doncaster Shield (2400m).

Windshear held out Island Remede by three-quarters length with Fattsota a head away third.

"He deserved that. He'd run a lot of good races in defeat. He was second in two Group races and fourth in the Leger," Hannon said.

"He's stronger this year and we've got some pretty lofty plans.

He'll probably go to Newbury for the Group Three (John Porter Stakes), all the nice Cup races if he gets that far and we've spoken about the Melbourne Cup.

"He's very talented and very sound. With some of the big horses gone there are gaps there for him."
