Goldinthesea Aims for a Winning Debut at Southwell
Wednesday evening's All-Weather racing at Southwell, broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing, promises to be an exciting affair... The Come Racing For Free 18th June Novice Stakes is set to be a thrilling encounter, with three unexposed colts facing off. Goldinthesea is a notable runner, having recently switched from Joseph O'Brien's yard to Ed Bethell's. His impressive performance at Dundalk in January has been bolstered by the third-place finisher's subsequent win, and this son of No Nay Never may have a bright future ahead with his new connections. Penny Time is an exciting prospect for trainer Hugo Plamer, having dominated at Southwell last month and beating a previous winner into second place. He will attempt to secure his third win in as many starts. Owen Burrows' Sassicaia has only raced once, winning at Wolverhampton in December, and like the other two, remains an unknown quantity with potential for growth. Debutant Shadow Boxer, representing Victorious Forever, was purchased for €520,000, and the market will provide more insight into this colt's abilities.

Another competitive race this evening is the Ladies Day Sunday 16th August Fillies' Handicap, where three winners from their last outings will clash. Cool Molly has been raised three pounds after winning the All-Weather Vase Fillies' Handicap at Lingfield 12 days ago, marking her third career win and second in her last three starts. She deserves respect. Vencedora, carrying the renowned Sheikh Mohammed Obaid colours, has a different profile, being lightly raced and unexposed for Karl Burke. She makes her seasonal debut after winning her first race in a three-runner event at Newmarket in September. Rogue Citation, representing The Rogues Gallery, has a similar profile to Vencedora, having only run twice, with her sole win coming last time out in October. It will be fascinating to see how they have wintered and whether they can compete against the race-fit Cool Molly. Stay informed with the latest horse racing news, interviews, and features from Sky Sports Racing. The evening's finale features Seven Fires attempting to complete a hat-trick in the Summer Socials At Southwell Racecourse Fillies' Handicap on just her fifth career start. Her two wins, both at Newcastle, showcased her versatility, as she made all on debut in February and came from off the pace to win at the same venue last month over five furlongs. She steps back up to six furlongs today and should be tough to beat. Top-rated Barefoot Beach has only run twice and bids to bounce back to winning ways after a narrow defeat at Kempton last time out, having shown promise with a win over the same track and trip on debut last September. Zighy got off the mark in her last outing, and George Boughey's filly could yet prove better, having not finished outside the top three in all five of her starts. 6.30 Southwell - Betelgeuse seeks another course and distance win. Happy Valley - Zac Purton, Harry Bentley, Hugh Bowman, and Andrea Atzeni are all in action.
