Wednesday evening promises to be an exciting one with All-Weather racing from Southwell, broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. One of the highlights is the Come Racing For Free 18th June Novice Stakes, which features a trio of unexposed colts. Goldinthesea, having recently transferred from Joseph O'Brien's yard to Ed Bethell's, is an intriguing contender.
He showed impressive form at Dundalk in January, with the third-placed finisher subsequently winning, suggesting a promising future for his new connections. Penny Time, trained by Hugo Plamer, is another exciting runner, having won convincingly at Southwell last month.
Owen Burrows' Sassicaia has only raced once, winning at Wolverhampton in December, and remains an unknown quantity with potential for growth. Debutant Shadow Boxer, representing Victorious Forever, cost €520,000, and the market will provide insight into his abilities. The Ladies Day Sunday 16th August Fillies' Handicap is another competitive event, featuring three recent winners. Cool Molly, having won the All-Weather Vase Fillies' Handicap at Lingfield 12 days ago, is a strong contender.
Vencedora, carrying the Sheikh Mohammed Obaid colors, and Rogue Citation, both lightly raced, will be interesting to watch as they return from their winter breaks. The evening concludes with the Summer Socials At Southwell Racecourse Fillies' Handicap, where Seven Fires aims to complete a hat-trick in her fifth career start. Top-rated Barefoot Beach and Zighy are among the notable competitors.
Other notable events include Betelgeuse seeking another course and distance win at 6:30 Southwell, and action from Happy Valley with prominent jockeys Zac Purton, Harry Bentley, Hugh Bowman, and Andrea Atzeni in action.
