Goldinthesea Aims for a Successful Stable Debut at Southwell

Wednesday evening promises to be an exciting one with competitive All-Weather racing action from Southwell, broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. A highlight of the evening is the Come Racing For Free 18th June Novice Stakes, where three inexperienced yet promising colts are set to face off. Goldinthesea, having recently switched from Joseph O'Brien's to Ed Bethell's yard, is an intriguing contender. His impressive performance at Dundalk in January has been bolstered by the third-place finisher's subsequent win, suggesting a bright future for this son of No Nay Never under new management. Penny Time, trained by Hugo Plamer, is another exciting prospect, having dominated at Southwell last month and aiming for his third consecutive win. Owen Burrows' Sassicaia, with only one outing under his belt, a win at Wolverhampton in December, remains an enigma with potential for growth. Debutant Shadow Boxer, representing Victorious Forever and costing €520,000, will have his value assessed by the market. For the latest in racing news, interviews, and features, stay tuned. Another compelling race of the evening is the Ladies Day Sunday 16th August Fillies' Handicap, where three recent winners will clash. Cool Molly, with a three-pound increase after her win at the All-Weather Vase Fillies' Handicap at Lingfield, commands respect with her third career win and two victories in her last three starts. Vencedora, carrying the renowned Sheikh Mohammed Obaid colours and trained by Karl Burke, offers a contrasting profile as a lightly raced filly making her seasonal debut after a first win in a small field at Newmarket in September. Rogue Citation, representing The Rogues Gallery, shares a similar profile with Vencedora, having only run twice, with her sole win coming in her last outing here in October. The finale of the evening features Seven Fires attempting to secure a hat-trick in the Summer Socials At Southwell Racecourse Fillies' Handicap on her fifth career start. Her versatility was on display at Newcastle, where she won by leading from the start in February and from off the pace last month. Stepping back up to six furlongs, she poses a significant challenge. Top-rated Barefoot Beach, with only two starts, seeks to rebound from a close second-place finish at Kempton, having shown promise with a debut win over the same track and distance. Zighy, who tasted victory last time out, could yet prove to be even better, given her consistent performance in all five starts. Other notable races include Betelgeuse seeking another course and distance win at 6:30 Southwell, and action from Happy Valley with Zac Purton, Harry Bentley, Hugh Bowman, and Andrea Atzeni in the saddle.
