Richard Spencer Stable Tour

Form profile

Winner of four of his 24 starts and currently rated 95. Finished fourth, beaten three lengths, to stablemate Two Tribes in the Stewards’ Cup at Goodwood off his current mark.

Trainer says

Run Boy Run ran well in the Stewards’ Cup at Goodwood, and he is going to run in the Constantine Handicap at York on Saturday. I would imagine that, all being well, he will go for the Portland at the St Leger Festival and he has an entry in the Ayr Gold Cup. He has run on fast ground, but he wouldn’t mind if there was a bit of ease and he is very versatile ground-wise. He is one we have pencilled in to go to Dubai for the winter so the Ayr Gold Cup will be his last run here before having a break.

Form profile

Winner of five of her 14 starts and currently rated 82. Gained her last success at Newmarket (6f) in July when beating Arabian Leopard a neck off a mark of 81.

Trainer says

Shallow is a tough filly that won at Newmarket before heading to Goodwood where the ground went against her. She prefers top of the ground and is going to run at York on Thursday in the fillies’ handicap over seven furlongs. She is one that I think is still well handicapped and she could run well in that valuable race at York.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 6 starts and currently rated 85. Having his first run since September 2023 when last of seven, beaten 17 lengths, to Badri in a handicap at Windsor (6f) in July off a mark of 92.

Trainer says

Space Cowboy unfortunately got injured after his three-year-old career and the owners have been extremely patient with him. He had a comeback run at Windsor the other day and the plan will be to run him in the Racing League at Newcastle on Thursday, where he has good form over the course and distance. We will put blinkers on him, and he is another with an entry in the Ayr Gold Cup and whether we have another run before then we will see. He is still showing us a bit of ability at home and, hopefully, he is one that picks up some races for us at the backend.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 27 starts. Finished fifth, beaten three and a quarter lengths, to Two Tribes in the Stewards’ Cup at Goodwood (6f) in August off a mark of 97.

Trainer says

Twilight Calls was another to run extremely well in the Stewards’ Cup drawn the wrong side. It has probably taken us a little time to get to know him well and he only joined us from Henry Candy’s at the backend of last year. I think if he was drawn higher, he would have finished closer at Goodwood and he is another to head to York for the Constantine. He is in the Ayr Gold Cup and I would imagine we will look at the Portland and he has hopes of going to Dubai. Hopefully, we can land a big one with him. He is a good strong traveller and the Portland over five and half would be an option if there is ease in the ground.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 20 starts and currently rated 103. Returned to winning form when beating Classic a neck in the International Handicap at Ascot (7f) in July off a mark of 90 and followed up under a 6lb penalty in the Stewards’ Cup at Goodwood (6f) when slamming Strike Red two and a quarter lengths.

Trainer says

Two Tribes has gone up to 103 after winning the Stewards’ Cup and he is going to have an entry at York in the Constantine Handicap. We have him in the Ayr Gold Cup and I would imagine we will see how he goes at York before making a final decision on him. He is getting to the stage where we would have to consider going into a Pattern Race with him at the backend of the season, but he has a big assignment going to Dubai for the winter. It was amazing to win the International and then the Stewards’ Cup and we have to take our hats off to the team who freshened him up and got him right for both races. He seems to have come out of Goodwood really well and, although he has gone up to 103, I think he can still be competitive bearing in mind how well he won the Stewards’ Cup.

Form profile

Winner of one of his five starts and currently rated 66. Off the mark on his handicap bow at Yarmouth (1m 2f) in August when beating Arundel a half a length off a mark of 64 but only fourth, beaten 10 lengths, to Showyoutheropes at Newmarket (1m 2f) on Saturday.

Trainer says

He had three runs and then won on his handicap debut at Yarmouth. He went up 2lb for winning that and then he ran a bit too free when fourth at Newmarket on Saturday. Hopefully, he can settle better next time, and I think the more racing he has the better he will settle down. I think when he learns to settle better, he will eventually get a mile and a half and even maybe a little bit further - the dam stayed extremely well.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 12 starts and currently rated 92. Probably best effort this term when sixth, beaten four and a quarter lengths, to Big Mojo in a Group 3 at Ascot (6f) in April on his reappearance.

Trainer says

Candy had a great first season but has been mainly disappointing this time around. He won the Two Year Old Trophy at Redcar last year and has been contesting some high-class races at the start of this year and we are waiting for some rain. I think that ease in the ground will help him and, hopefully, we can see him win a nice handicap in the autumn.

Form profile

Finished third, beaten a length and a half, to Dr Strangelove in a novice at Kempton (6f) in May and runner-up, beaten three and a half lengths, to Crestofdistinction in a maiden at Kempton (6f) in May.

Trainer says

He has been placed in two maidens, and he is probably two or three off a run. We will try to run him at Southwell on September 2. He is quite a nice horse, and he could go on and pick up a nice handicap at the backend. He is another one who could, potentially be going to Dubai for the winter.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 6 starts and currently rated 86. Finished fifth, beaten three and a quarter lengths, to Royal Zabeel at Newmarket (7f) this month off a mark of 87.

Trainer says

He disappointed us this year, but he was very keen in his races, and we have changed the tactics to try and get him to settle. I thought he would nearly have won at Newmarket last week in a handicap, but I can see him pulling back to six furlongs. I think that when things click for him, he could be more than a handicapper.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 5 starts and currently rated 92. Made a winning reappearance at York (5f) in May when scoring by two and a quarter lengths, from Loom off a mark of 84.

Trainer says

He is going to run at York on Wednesday. He won well over the course and distance this year and has only run the once. We were targeting Ascot, but he was sick and had a temperature the week before, so we had to miss that. We had him ready for Goodwood, but the rain came, and we pulled him out. It’s been frustrating that we haven’t been able to get him out on track, but I think he is still very handicapped and is probably one of our better chances this week at York. He is another who could be getting on a plane to Dubai this winter.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 7 starts and currently rated 98. Finished fifth, beaten two and three quarter lengths, to Mudbir at Goodwood (7f) this month off a mark of 99.

Trainer says

Things have gone quite right for him this year, but he has a lot of ability. He had a wide draw at Goodwood last time but finished the race off well and he will run in a handicap at York on Friday. I think the track will suit him and we are trying to exploit his handicap mark, we think he is relatively well handicapped, and we could see him winning a big pot somewhere down the line. He could go to Dubai for the winter, and he is an exciting horse. He will be horse to look forward too next year as well.

Form profile

Placed on her 3 starts and currently rated 70. Finished third, beaten two and a half lengths, to Fantasy Obsessor in a novice fillies’ at Southwell (6f) in June.

Trainer says

She has only run a handful of times and is relatively well handicapped. She is three weeks off a run and should be competitive to win off her mark on the All-Weather through September and October.

Form profile

Placed in two of his 5 starts and currently rated 71. Finished runner-up, beaten a short head, to Vlad in a nursery at Windsor (6f) in July off a mark of 69.

Trainer says

He disappointed us on his handicap debut, and we then ran him back at Windsor first time with a tongue tie and he just got beat. He could head to Ffos Las this week for a nursery, and he won’t want fast ground. Hopefully, he can get a bit of better ground at Ffos Las, and he is one that could progress in the autumn in nursery company.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

He is a nice horse by City Light who is unraced. He is probably one of our better two-year-olds and is potentially going to run in a maiden in September. He will start over seven and has needed a bit of time to fill his frame. He has a good way about him and his longer aim would be to go to Paris Longchamp on Arc weekend. He qualifies for a big Sales race there for French-bred horses and that could be his long-term project. He is also entered for a few Sales races here and we will just see if we can get a win to his name, but he is an exciting horse. He will probably stay further in time.

Form profile

Finished fifth, beaten four and three quarter lengths, to Wateen in a maiden at Lingfield (5f) in June.

Trainer says

He has run once so far, and he is in the Sales race at Newmarket on Saturday. I would imagine he will line up there. His work has been good, and he is working better than when leading into his debut run at Lingfield. He is one we could have an exciting autumn with.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

He will run in the Convivial Maiden at York this week. His work has been good, and I can see him running well in that. He has a few Sales race entries later on in the year and he is one we could have a bit of fun with throughout the autumn.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

Kimbara is an unraced two-year-old by Night Of Thunder. He had a slight setback in the winter and is back in full work now. I can see him starting off in a seven-furlong maiden in the next six weeks. He is quite a nice horse, and his work has improved since he has been back in with us. He is another who could have a three-year-old campaign in Dubai during the winter.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

She was one we had entered in the Oaks at Epsom and the Irish Oaks but, unfortunately she went wrong in the spring. She has come back and is cantering now and, hopefully, we can give her a run in a maiden towards the backend of this season. She is a nice filly who can win a maiden and then put her away until next year. She could be one that could be contesting Pattern races in time, she is a very nice filly.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

He is a Dark Angel colt who is entered in a couple of early closers - the Mill Reef and the Middle Park. He will need a little bit of rain before we run him and, potentially, could have an entry at Newmarket on Saturday or Windsor on the Monday. He is a nice horse whose work has been very solid. If things go to plan, he could be an exciting horse for us this year and next year.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

He is a colt by Supremacy and his work has been good. We have entered him in the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster, and we will start him off over seven furlongs. He wants a little bit of rain but, hopefully, we can see him out in a maiden in the next couple of weeks. He is a big horse who is going to make a lovely three-year-old, but he goes well and, hopefully, he can make his mark this year too.

Form profile

Finished seventh, beaten three and three quarter lengths, to First Legion in a novice at York (6f) in May and then third, beaten six and a half lengths, to Beckford’s Folly, when favourite for a novice at Newmarket (6f) in June.

Trainer says

He disappointed us at Newmarket where he finished third. He has been gelded since his last run, and I would like to think he will be out this month. His homework has been very good, and he didn’t reproduce it on his second start but, potentially, he can a win a maiden and step up into better company in due course.

Form profile

Placed in three of his 6 starts and currently rated 71. Finished sixth, beaten 11 ½ lengths, to Ubetterseethis in a nursery at Chester (7f) this month off a mark of 73.

Trainer says

He has an entry in the nursery at York this week. He disappointed us at Chester but that was over seven furlongs, and we are going to drop him back to six. We might put some cheekpieces on as I think he is holding something up his sleeve. He is definitely well handicapped and there are races to be won with him throughout the year.

Form profile

Finished third, beaten five and a quarter lengths, to Treanmor in a novice at Newmarket (6f) in May.

Trainer says

He is a Mehmas two-year-old who ran third on his debut at Newmarket in the spring. He had a slight little setback, nothing major, and I think he is one that can win a maiden in the autumn and step up into Pattern company down the line. Whether he is one we take to Dubai or hold off and wait for him next year we will see.
