Spencer has high hopes on Albert
The jockey takes the ride on Aidan O’Brien’s leading candidate in the final Group One race of the season, with Colm O’Donoghue aboard stablemate Hills Of Aran.
Albert Hall has been installed as favourite for the mile contest on Town Moor on the back of his win in the Beresford Stakes two weeks ago, having finished runner-up on his debut in September.
“He did so very well to win the Group Two race at the Curragh on only his second start,” admitted Spencer.
“I am hoping for a good run from him now that he steps up another level to Group One company.”
Albert Hall will race for owners Sue Magnier and Michael Tabor as O’Brien chases his fifth win in the past eight renewals of the Racing Post Trophy and .
The Ballydoyle handler has landed the prize in recent years with Brian Boru (2002), High Chaparral (2001), Aristotle (1999) and Saratoga Springs (1997).
