Richard Spencer Stable Tour

Form profile

Winner of four of his 16 starts and currently rated 97. Finished well beaten last in the Wokingham Handicap at Royal Ascot (6f) on his reappearance in June off a mark of 98. Landed the Ladbrokes Ayr Silver Cup at Ayr (6f) last September by a length and three quarters from Sondad off a mark of 92.

Trainer says

We are working back from the Ayr Gold Cup with him. He had a run at Ascot, and he actually banged his head on the gates and anticipated the start. You can put a line through that run, and he will have an entry next week, but I can’t see him running at Ascot. He will have an entry at Goodwood in the Stewards’ Cup if the ground was good or softer.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 17 starts and currently rated 93. Best effort this Winter when finishing sixth, beaten a length and a quarter, to English Oak at Meydan (7f) in February off a mark of 94.

Trainer says

He ran a bit fresh at Newmarket the other day and will probably bypass the July meeting and we will head to Glorious Goodwood with him. There are a couple of options there - there’s the big mile handicap there and he is also in a lower grade race there if he can’t get in.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 8 starts and currently rated 87. Probably best effort this year when runner-up, beaten two and a quarter lengths, to Desperate Hero at Meydan (6f) in February off a mark of 88. Finished runner-up, beaten a neck, to Naana’s Sparkle at Southwell (5f) on Sunday.

Trainer says

He got bumped all over the shop on his penultimate run at Newcastle and showed up much better at Southwell on Sunday when just denied. He is in the Stewards’ Cup and has an entry at Newmarket this week. He is going to be busy, and I would like to think we could see a bit of improvement now he is back in England. He ran well in Dubai over the winter. He is a nice big horse who is going to improve over the season.

Form profile

Winner of six of his 35 starts and currently rated 103. Added to his score when beating Majpr Cinnamon a head at Meydan (6f) in February off a mark of 99 and another cracking performance when runner-up, beaten a length and a quarter, to Native Approach in a Group 3 at Meydan (6f) later that month. Winner of the Ladbrokes Ayr Gold Cup at Ayr (6f) last September when beating Desert Falcon a neck off a mark of 95.

Trainer says

He will have an entry in the five-furlong handicap at Ascot this week and he could also go to the Group 3 at Newbury the following week over six - we are undecided just yet. He is in the Stewards’ Cup and is also entered in the King George V Stakes over five at Goodwood. We will mix it up with him and he is in between handicaps and Group races. He has a lot of ability and improves with racing. We will keep him busy and see where we go but he did well for us in Dubai and he is a bit of a flagship horse for us at the moment. Potentially, he could go back for another crack at the Ayr Gold Cup.

Form profile

Winner of five of her 25 starts and currently rated 78. Has been placed in her four runs on the turf this season and most recently finished runner-up, beaten a length and a half, to Powdering in a fillies’ handicap at Newmarket in June off her current mark.

Trainer says

Shallow was unlucky at York, and she will head to Newmarket this week. She has come out of the race well and she loves the July course. The seven may stretch her a little but she loves the course and I would imagine we’ll keep running her there. She could go back to York for the big six-furlong handicap at York in August. She is a fun filly to have.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 36 starts and currently rated 87. Gained his first success for the stable when beating Lipsink a length and a quarter at Sandown (5f) in June off a mark of 80 and subsequently ran well when runner-up, beaten a neck, to Michaela’s Boy at Yarmouth (5f) under a 4lb penalty six days later.

Trainer says

He was unlucky not to win at Yarmouth the other day. He is in the Stewards’ Cup, and we may run him at Newmarket or Ascot this week. We could do with him going up a bit more to get in at the bottom of the weights for the Stewards’ Cup but that would be his first major target for this season. We will look at races like the Portland and the Ayr Gold Cup later in the season and then we will go to Dubai. The introduction of the headgear has helped, and we will switch it around with him.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 28 starts and currently rated 102. Gained his last success when beating Indian Springs a short head at Meydan (6f) off his current mark. Finished 12th, beaten five lengths, to Double Rush in the Wokingham Handicap at Ascot (6f) in June off a mark 103.

Trainer says

He is in the Bunbury Cup this week and then he is another who will go to Goodwood. He was drawn on the wrong side in the Wokingham, and he hasn’t produced at Newmarket yet, but we will see how he is leading up to the Bunbury Cup.

Form profile

Winner of two of her 9 starts and currently rated 83. Made a winning reappearance at Kempton (6f) in January when beating stablemate Shallow two and a half lengths off a mark of 75

Trainer says

She has had a bit of a setback, but she should be out toward the end of July/ beginning of August. She is a filly that is still well handicapped and improving with racing. Hopefully, we can see a bit more of her in the second half of the season.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 2 starts. Off the mark at Windsor (1m 2f) in June when scoring by a head from Cyrano De Bergerac.

Trainer says

He is a nice horse, and he has needed a lot of time, but we like him. He won on his second start, and he doesn’t want quick ground so we will wait for the rain with him. We will look to run him in a novice with a penalty and then look for a handicap.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 12 starts and currently rated 69. Gained his last win at Lingfield (6f) in April when beating Dusk Damsel a length and a half off a mark of 64.

Trainer says

He is an All-Weather performer, and he is having a break now and will be back in the next few months. He is a progressive sprinter that, hopefully, can get his head in front again.

Form profile

Winner of two of her 4 starts and currently rated 93. Made a winning reappearance in a novice at Windsor (6f) in June and subsequently ninth, beaten seven and three quarter lengths, to Bacio in the Palace Of Holyrood House at Royal Ascot (5f) later in the month off a mark of 94. Finished sixth, beaten five lengths, to Rum Star in the Group 3 Coral Charge at Sandown (5f) on Saturday.

Trainer says

She ran in the Coral Charge on Saturday and ran quite well. We are trying to get a bit of black type with her and whether we head to France with her at some point we will see. The ground was very quick for her, and we hold her in high regard. Hopefully, we can see her improve through the season.

Form profile

Placed in two of his 4 starts and currently rated 73. Finished third, beaten half a length, to Raging Raj on his latest outing at Yarmouth (7f) in June off his current mark.

Trainer says

He runs at the July meeting this week. He was a bit unlucky at Yarmouth and if they go an end-to-end gallop he should have a chance this week. Hopefully he can progress through the handicaps this season.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 7 starts and currently rated 73. Started the season off on a mark of 25 and was gelded before beating Heer’s Sadie two and a quarter lengths in a Classified at Yarmouth (1m) in June. Completed a four timer in similar events after and scored by two and a quarter lengths from Raise The Stakes when gaining his last win at Lingfield (1m 2f) later in June.

Trainer says

He is a nice horse who is going to have a break now. He has done well to win four races in quick succession, and we will look to run him in the autumn. Whatever else he does this year, he is going to be a lovely horse next year.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 8 starts and currently rated 84. Having his first run since being gelded when scoring by three quarters of a length from Explosive Finish at Chester (6f) in June off a mark of 75 and followed up with a half-length victory from Sovereign Ocean at the same course (7f) later in the month off a mark of 80.

Trainer says

We took him to Dubai thinking he was a very nice two-year-old, but things just didn’t go to plan there. I think he is still well handicapped and he is improving. He could go back to Chester, or we may wait and go to Glorious Goodwood. He is a horse that is on the right side of the handicapper.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 8 starts and currently rated 89. Started off his season with a four and a half length victory from Worlington at Redcar (1m) in April off a mark of 56 on his first outing since being gelded. Went onto complete a four-timer with a length and a half success from Brave Hunter at Windsor (1m) in May off a mark of 77. Failed by only a head behind St Anton at Carlisle (1m) at the end of that month off a mark of 84.

Trainer says

He is in at the July Festival, and he was unlucky not to get in at the Royal meeting then bumped into a nice horse of Richard Hannon’s at Carlisle. The track probably didn’t suit him, and the race wasn’t run to suit either. Hopefully, we can go to the July Festival and then onto Glorious Goodwood.

Form profile

Finished runner-up, beaten a length and a quarter, to Nabati in a maiden at Yarmouth (6f) on Thursday.

Trainer says

He ran well at Yarmouth and was beaten by a very nice horse of Charlie Appleby’s who they hold in high regard. If he comes out of that race well, he could go to Goodwood for the six furlong colt’s maiden. He is a nice horse, and he is entered in a lot of Sales races so we will try and slot him in one of those.

Form profile

Finished runner-up, beaten a short head, to Weekend Roar in a novice at Newmarket (6f) in June.

Trainer says

Etienne ran very well on his debut at Newmarket where he bumped into two horses that had a run under their belts. He will head for the Super Sprint at Newbury on July 18 where I think he will have a very good chance of 8st 8lb. He is in a lot of those Sales races, and we will try and farm those and potentially run him in black type races at the backend.

Form profile

Finished seventh, beaten 11 lengths, to Libertango in a maiden at Leicester (6f) in May.

Trainer says

He is a nice colt who we got at the Breeze-Ups. His homework was nice and we ran him at Leicester and he got sore shins. We will give him a bit of time, and I would imagine we will see him towards the end of July/August time when we get him back in the swing of things. He probably wants some better ground so there is no panic with him, but I do like him.

Form profile

Finished runner-up, beaten a length and a half, to Glorious Game in a novice fillies’ at Windsor (6f) on her debut in June and beaten five and three quarter lengths to the same filly in the Listed Empress Fillies’ Stakes at Newmarket (6f) later that month.

Trainer says

She ran very well at Windsor and probably got caught out by the ground at the July course the other day. We will wait with her now and whether she goes to Goodwood or somewhere like that, but she doesn’t want fast ground. She is a big filly who is going to make a nice three-year-old and she will have no trouble winning her maiden and going on and picking up some black type in the second half of the season.”

Form profile

Finished runner-up, beaten a neck, to War Banner on her debut at Newmarket (6f) in June.

Trainer says

She ran well on her debut at Newmarket, and she has a couple of entries at the July meeting this week. If she is alright, she will head there. I think she will improve massively for that run as she hadn’t been away for a gallop or anything before the run. Hopefully, she can progress on her next start and progress throughout the season.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

She is a nice filly, and she will have an entry this week at Newmarket but whether she runs or not I’m not sure. She is another who will improve a lot for her first run and I like her. Hopefully, we can have a lot of fun with her this year and through her three-year-old career.

Form profile

Finished fourth, beaten two and three quarter lengths, to Glorious Game on her debut in a novice fillies’ at Windsor (6f) in June.

Trainer says

She ran well at Windsor where the ground was probably a little too slow for her. I would imagine we will try and get her back for Goodwood at the end of the month. She is a nice filly and above average.”

Form profile

Winner of one of his 3 starts Made a winning debut in a novice at Sandown (5f) in June when scoring by a length and a quarter from Viking Barbie. Ran well in the LIsted Coral Dragon Stakes over the same course and distance on Friday when fifth beaten three and a quarter lengths, to Bint Archange.

Trainer says

He was unlucky at Sandown on Friday as he had no luck in running. He could have an entry in the Rose Bowl at Newbury on July 18 or we could wait for the Molecomb Stakes at Glorious Goodwood. He is well up to gaining some black type and I could well see him winning some nice races throughout the season.

Form profile

Promise in three starts over five furlongs and currently rated 61. Finished sixth, beaten six and a half lengths, to Noble Raider on her latest outing at Doncaster (5f) in May.

Trainer says

She has had three runs, and we will try to get her into a nursery in the next month. Hopefully, she can progress from what she has shown so far. Her brother Candy did the same and hopefully she can follow suit.

Form profile

Finished runner-up, beaten half a length, to Ron’s Angel on her debut at Lingfield (6f) in June and had little trouble going one better in another maiden fillies’ at Yarmouth (6f) later in the month when beating Rocsane a length.

Trainer says

She won well at Yarmouth, and she will head to the Supers Sprint as well. She has 8st 4lb at Newbury on July 18 and is in all those Sales races. Hopefully, we can pick up a bit of prize money in those Sales races and also a bit of black type somewhere down the line.
