The Tuesday card at Southwell promises a full day of All‑Weather racing, broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing, and the opening feature is the Southwell Cardinal Conditions Stakes. This race pits two promising three‑year‑olds, Yazin and Golden View, against a modest field of just three runners, setting the stage for an intriguing contest. Yazin, a son of the acclaimed New Bay, was first introduced to the track in September at Redcar where he secured a comfortable victory on debut.
He followed that up with another win the next month in a novice event at Newmarket, demonstrating a strong turn of foot over seven furlongs. Trainers John and Thady Gosden have noted his ability to stay on powerfully, suggesting that the added distance of the Southwell contest should suit him well. Adding to his prospects, the colt will be guided by Ryan Moore, a jockey who, despite limited recent experience at Southwell—having ridden there only once in the past five years—brings a wealth of top‑level skill and tactical acumen. Golden View, trained by Charlie Appleby and partnered with William Buick, is the other headline contender.
This Dubawi‑sired colt boasts an attractive pedigree and made an impressive debut at Kempton in December, besting Aqpan in a novice race. The quality of that performance is underscored by the fact that his runner‑up opponent now carries a rating of 101, indicating that Golden View should be very competitive in this field. His early promise suggests he will relish the opportunity to test his abilities against a fellow high‑class peer.
Completing the trio is Intense Vision, trained by Oli Rix. While less heralded than the leading two, the horse adds depth to the small field and could prove a factor if the race unfolds in an unexpected way. Beyond the opening contest, the card features a six‑horse Book The Bistro In Sherwood Restaurant Handicap that should attract considerable betting interest, with Marnier and Lady Ridgewood emerging as the early favorites. Marnier, trained by the Gosdens and ridden by Rab Havlin, carries the top weight in the handicap.
The horse is on a retrieval mission after a disappointing return run at Kempton, but his previous form includes a decisive win in a Lingfield maiden last summer. The connections hope that the experience gained from his recent outing will sharpen his performance and allow him to be competitive at this level. Lady Ridgewood, who last raced for Peter Chapple‑Hyam in August, is making her debut for trainer Ian Williams.
The filly broke her maiden in her final start and is now being positioned as an intriguing contender, offering a fresh perspective on the handicap. Other notable entries include Yaa Min, a well‑regarded runner, and New York Minute, a three‑time winner on all‑weather surfaces who will be stepping back in distance in hopes of recapturing his previous form. In the Come Racing For Free 18th June Handicap at 7:00 pm, Raspoutine will attempt to overcome a six‑pound penalty.
The horse, trained by Sir Mark Prescott, displayed improved form when winning his handicap debut at Lingfield earlier in the month, suggesting he could be close to the winner under the added weight. Aneirin’s Sword, handled by Jamie Osborne, also merits attention.
The horse has shown solid form when racing off the pace around Southwell, and the trainer has opted to fit first‑time blinkers in an effort to extract further improvement. Among the remaining runners, Action Reaction is expected to perform better now that he is contesting handicaps, while Lexington Empress, trained by Marco Botti, was narrowly denied a win at Wolverhampton and will be under the guidance of Marco Giani for this outing. The broader racing landscape includes several notable international fixtures. At ParisLongchamp, a Listed race at 2:49 will see Group Two winner Godspeed attract attention, while French Guineas third‑place finisher Mandanaba returns for Graffard.
Another Listed race at 3:27 features 17 runners, with Jel Pepper representing Oli Cole and Kieran Shoemark, and Take On Me also highlighted as a contender. Finally, at Keeneland, the two‑year‑old Through The Years, trained by Wesley Ward, will take the field at 6:32.
