Wednesday evening promises thrilling All-Weather racing action from Southwell, broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. The highlight of the evening 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 to Ed Bethell's stable, is an intriguing contender. He delivered an impressive performance at Dundalk in January, with the third-place finisher going on to win subsequently, suggesting a promising future for his new connections.
Penny Time is another exciting runner, trained by Hugo Plamer, who convincingly won 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 and costing €520,000, will provide valuable insights through the market.

Cool Molly, having won the All-Weather Vase Fillies' Handicap at Lingfield 12 days ago, is up three pounds and deserves respect. Vencedora, carrying Sheikh Mohammed Obaid's colors, has a distinct profile as a lightly raced filly, remaining unexposed for Karl Burke. Rogue Citation, representing The Rogues Gallery, shares a similar profile with Vencedora, having only run twice, with her sole win coming last time out in October. The evening's finale features Seven Fires attempting to complete a hat-trick in the Summer Socials At Southwell Racecourse Fillies' Handicap.
With two wins at Newcastle, showcasing her versatility, she steps back up to six furlongs and is expected to be tough to beat. Top-rated Barefoot Beach, having only run twice, seeks to bounce back from a defeat at Kempton, while George Boughey's Zighy, having recently won, could yet prove better. Additional racing action includes Betelgeuse seeking another course and distance win at 6:30 Southwell, and notable jockeys in action at Happy Valley.
