Recent form shows some promise mixed with disappointment. Over the last six races, Light The Night Up has picked up three top-three finishes, including a pair of fifths, and a third place just days ago. The most recent run came yesterday, when the horse finished third, so it's clearly racing regularly and staying competitive in its grade. The pattern suggests a horse capable of mixing with rivals without quite managing that elusive breakthrough.
Trained by K. R. Burke at Coverham in North Yorkshire, Light The Night Up runs for a yard that has been in excellent form this season, already sending out 145 winners. At Class 5 level, where most of its races have come, the horse has gone zero from three — races that sit at the lower end of the professional ladder. That's a sign the yard may be searching for the right spot and the right conditions to unlock a first win. Given how often this horse is running and how regularly it's finishing close, a victory is probably not far away.
