The racing schedule for Tuesday is packed, featuring a full day of All‑Weather action at Southwell that will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. The highlight of the morning is the Southwell Cardinal Conditions Stakes, a classy opening contest that pits two promising three‑year‑olds, Yazin and Golden View, against each other in a small but intriguing field of three runners. Yazin, a son of the celebrated New Bay, has already shown a touch of class. He made his first start in September at Redcar, where he secured a comfortable win, and followed that up with a solid performance in a novice race at Newmarket the following month.
In that race he proved he can stay the seven‑furlong distance, finishing strongly and demonstrating the stamina that should serve him well when stretched out to the longer trip offered in the Cardinal Conditions Stakes. Adding to his credentials, Yazin will be partnered by Ryan Moore, a jockey who has only ridden once at Southwell in the past five years, making this a relatively fresh partnership that could bring a new spark to the horse’s campaign.
The other major contender is Golden View, a Dubawi colt trained by the renowned Charlie Appleby and ridden by the experienced William Buick. Golden View boasts an attractive pedigree and made a striking debut at Kempton in December, where he won a novice race by beating Aqpan. That victory was later validated when the runner‑up was rated 101, indicating that Golden View’s performance was of a genuinely high standard. The colt is expected to be very competitive in this race, and his connections will be hoping he can replicate his early-season brilliance.
Rounding out the trio is Intense Vision, trained by Oli Rix. While he may be the underdog on paper, his presence adds depth to the field and offers an additional tactical element for the leading jockeys to consider. Beyond the headline clash, the day also features a six‑horse contest for the Book The Bistro In Sherwood Restaurant Handicap.
Two horses, Marnier and Lady Ridgewood, appear to be the early favorites according to the betting markets. Marnier, trained by the father‑son team John and Thady Gosden, will carry the top weight in the handicap under the guidance of jockey Rab Havlin. The gelding is on a bit of a redemption mission after being soundly beaten on his most recent return at Kempton. However, he has a proven record, having captured a maiden at Lingfield last summer, and his connections hope that the experience of his last run will sharpen his form and allow him to hit the frame in this race.
Lady Ridgewood, who last raced in August for trainer Peter Chapple‑Hyam, is making her debut for Ian Williams. She broke her maiden on that final start and now presents an intriguing prospect for her new connections. Her fresh perspective could make her a dangerous challenger in the handicap. Other horses worth watching include Yaa Min, a well‑balanced runner who could benefit from the pace, and New York Minute, a three‑time winner on the all‑weather surface who will be looking to rediscover his winning ways over a shorter distance.
The program also highlights a special feature: Raspoutine will attempt to overcome a six‑pound penalty in the Come Racing For Free 18th June Handicap, scheduled for 7:00 pm. The horse, trained by Sir Mark Prescott, displayed improved form when he won his handicap debut at Lingfield earlier in the month, and the penalty could be a manageable hurdle as he seeks to add another victory to his record. Aneirin’s Sword, campaigned by Jamie Osborne, commands respect after delivering solid performances on similar tracks.
His trainer has now fitted the horse with blinkers for the first time, a tactical change intended to sharpen his focus and extract additional performance. Among the remaining runners, Action Reaction may be poised for a better effort now that he is stepping up in class to contest a handicap, while Lexington Empress, trained by Marco Botti, was narrowly denied a win at Wolverhampton and will be under the care of Marco Giani for this outing. Both horses could prove to be serious threats if they find the right rhythm.

Later, at 3:27 pm, another Longchamp Listed contest featuring 17 runners will see Jel Pepper represent trainer Oli Cole and jockey Kieran Shoemark, with Take On Me also highlighted as a horse to watch.
Finally, at 6:32 pm, the Keeneland meeting in the United States will showcase Wesley Ward’s two‑year‑old Through The Years, adding a transatlantic flavor to the day’s racing.
