IT’LL be over before you know it. The Molecomb is one of the fastest races in the calendar and sees the top two-year-old speedsters take each other on over Goodwood’s flying five.

John Quinn’s rapid filly Liberty Beach will bid to make it four from five in the Group 3 contest.

Key Molecomb Stakes contenders

Liberty Beach 7-4f

Very fast filly who took her form to a new level when bolting up in a Listed contest at Sandown last time out, impressing with her visuals.

Gets a fillies’ allowance here and that will see her very difficult to beat if producing her devastating turn of foot at this idiosyncratic track.

Maven 3-1

Wesley Ward brings a very interesting colt to play in this, with both his starts so far having resulted in narrow victories.

He won a Group 3 last time out in Chantilly and clearly has bucketloads of pace. This sharp track should be ideal with Frankie up top.

How will the race pan out?

Maven is more than likely going to lead, with Wesley Ward’s horses always happiest out at the front.

Dr Simpson showed impressive speed at Chester and is likely to try and force it, while Liberty Beach will be held up in rear.
