Goldinthesea Aims for a Winning Debut at Southwell

Wednesday evening brings thrilling All-Weather racing from Southwell, broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. The Come Racing For Free 18th June Novice Stakes promises to be an exhilarating contest, pitting three untested colts against each other. Goldinthesea, recently transferred from Joseph O'Brien's to Ed Bethell's yard, shows intriguing potential after an impressive performance at Dundalk in January, with the third-place finisher having since secured a win. As the son of No Nay Never, Goldinthesea may have a bright future ahead under new connections. Penny Time, trained by Hugo Plamer, is another exciting contender, having dominated at Southwell last month and seeking his third consecutive win. Owen Burrows' Sassicaia, with only one start under his belt, remains an enigma, having won at Wolverhampton in December. Debutant Shadow Boxer, representing Victorious Forever and costing €520,000, will rely on market feedback to gauge his potential. In the Ladies Day Sunday 16th August Fillies' Handicap, three recent winners clash, including Cool Molly, who has been bumped up three pounds following her victory in the All-Weather Vase Fillies' Handicap at Lingfield. Vencedora, donning the famous Sheikh Mohammed Obaid colours, boasts a distinct profile, being lightly raced and making her seasonal debut after a win 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 last October. The finale features Seven Fires, attempting to secure a hat-trick on her fifth career start in the Summer Socials At Southwell Racecourse Fillies' Handicap. Having demonstrated versatility with wins at Newcastle, Seven Fires steps back up to six furlongs and is expected to be a tough competitor. Top-rated Barefoot Beach seeks to rebound from a defeat at Kempton, while Zighy, having recently broken her maiden, may yet prove to be even better. Additional racing action includes Betelgeuse aiming for another course and distance win at 6:30 Southwell, and notable jockeys Zac Purton, Harry Bentley, Hugh Bowman, and Andrea Atzeni in action at Happy Valley.
