Wednesday evening promises exciting racing action with All-Weather events from Southwell, broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. The Come Racing For Free 18th June Novice Stakes is set to be a thrilling encounter, featuring three unexposed colts. Goldinthesea, having recently switched from Joseph O'Brien's yard to Ed Bethell's, is an intriguing runner.
He made an impression at Dundalk in January, and his form has been bolstered by the third-place finisher's subsequent win. As the son of No Nay Never, he could have a bright future with his new connections.
Penny Time is another exciting contender, having 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, cost €520,000, and the market will reveal more about this colt. Stay updated with the latest racing news, interviews, and features on your phone.
This evening also features the competitive Ladies Day Sunday 16th August Fillies' Handicap, where three recent winners clash. Cool Molly, up three pounds after winning the All-Weather Vase Fillies' Handicap at Lingfield, must be respected.
Vencedora, carrying Sheikh Mohammed Obaid's colors, is lightly raced and unexposed, having won for the first time in a three-runner race at Newmarket in September. Rogue Citation, representing The Rogues Gallery, has a similar profile, with only two runs and a win last time out. It will be interesting to see how they perform after winter and if they can compete with the race-fit Cool Molly.
The finale features Seven Fires attempting to complete a hat-trick in the Summer Socials At Southwell Racecourse Fillies' Handicap. With two wins at Newcastle, showing versatility, she steps back up to six furlongs and should be tough to beat. Top-rated Barefoot Beach bids to bounce back after a close second at Kempton, having shown promise in her debut win. Zighy, having gotten off the mark last time out, could yet prove better, having not finished outside the top three in all five starts.
Other notable events include Betelgeuse seeking another course and distance win at 6:30 Southwell, and action at Happy Valley with Zac Purton, Harry Bentley, Hugh Bowman, and Andrea Atzeni in action.
