We have a busy day’s racing on Tuesday with All-Weather action from Southwell, live on Sky Sports Racing…
4.57 Southwell – Exciting Yazin and Golden View clash in opener
A classy opening Southwell Cardinal Conditions Stakes sees exciting pair Yazin and Golden View headline a field of three.
John and Thady Gosden’s son of New Bay stepped up on his debut to win nicely at Redcar in September before following up the following month in a Newmarket novice. He stayed on powerfully over the seven-furlong trip and should relish this extra distance, and gains the assistance of Ryan Moore who has only ridden in a race at Southwell once in the last five years.
Golden View is the chief threat for Charlie Appleby and William Buick. This Dubawi colt has a lovely pedigree and made an impressive racecourse debut beating off Aqpan in a Kempton novice back in December. That form has been franked with the runner-up now rated 101, so he should be going close in here.
Oli Rix’s Intense Vison completes the trio.
6.30 Southwell – Marnier, Lady Ridgewood and New York Minute feature
A quality field of six has assembled for the Book The Bistro In Sherwood Restaurant Handicap where Marnier and Lady Ridgewood could head the betting.
The John and Thady Gosden-trained Marnier will top the weights under Rab Havlin and arrives on a bit of a retrieval mission having been well beaten on his return at Kempton. A ready winner of a Lingfield maiden last summer, he could benefit from his last outing and hit the frame here.
Lady Ridgewood got off the mark on her final start for Peter Chapple-Hyam back in August and rates an intriguing contender on debut for Ian Williams.
Others to consider include Yaa Min, while New York Minute is a three-time winner on the all-weather and will look to rediscover his form back down in trip.
7.00 Southwell – Raspoutine bids to defy the penalty
Raspoutine looks to defy the penalty in this Come Racing For Free 18th June Handicap at 7.00pm.
Sir Mark Prescott’s charge showed improved form when winning on his handicap debut at Lingfield earlier this month and he should go close under this six-pound penalty and may be one to rack up a sequence.
Aneirin’s Sword warrants respect for Jamie Osborne. He showed a solid level of form off marks in and around this and his trainer has enlisted first-time blinkers to eke out further progress.
Of the others, Action Reaction could do better now tackling handicaps, while Marco Botti’s Lexington Empress was only narrowly denied when attempting to follow up at Wolverhampton and must be feared under Marco Giani.
Best of the rest
2.49 ParisLongchamp – Listed contest where Group Two winner Godspeed catches the eye. French Guineas third Mandanaba is back for Graffard too.
3.27 ParisLongchamp – Listed race with 17 runners. Jel Pepper represents Oli Cole and Kieran Shoemark. Take On Me another to note.
6.32 Keeneland – Wesley Ward two-year-old Through The Years runs.
