The penultimate race on this evening's card at Newmarket is an interesting 12f handicap that pits a couple of progressive looking 3yos against some older rivals. Warrior of Light and Connecticut are the names of these younger horses and they dominate the betting at 9/2 and around 6/5 respectively. The latter is trained by Luca Cumani and seems a bit of a buzz horse but I believe the price differential between the two is excessive. Warrior of Light went into my tracker after his last effort at Goodwood. He was hemmed in between horses around 2f out that day and had to be switched in order to make his claim but by the time he had clear air in front of him the winner had gotten first run and Goodwood is the sort of track where that sort of ground is difficult to make up. Warrior of Light ran on really well all the way to the line though, comfortably beating the remainder of the opposition and as a High Chaparral colt this step up in trip to a mile and a half should really suit. That same comment applies to Connecticut also and there was plenty to like about his last run at York but he does seems very short tonight.
32Red Handicap:
Warrior of Light £40w @ 9/2 (NR)
(+1294.75)
