Likealightswitch

That one win came at Gowran Park on 7th March 2026, just four weeks ago, and it matters that the victory is so fresh. Horses that win and then keep racing at the same level often carry a confidence that shows up in the placings — and Likealightswitch has done exactly that, following the win with two consecutive second-place finishes. That is the kind of momentum that makes a horse worth keeping an eye on.

Harry Sexton is the regular partner in the saddle, having ridden this horse in six of its ten races and been aboard for the win. Together they have won 1 in every 6 races, which is a reasonable partnership at this level and suggests a rider who knows what he is working with. The trainer is Adrian Sexton, based at Athy in County Kildare, whose yard has sent out two winners so far this season. It is a small operation rather than a powerhouse stable, which makes getting the best out of a horse like this one — consistent, improving, competitive — all the more important to how the season shapes up.

With the horse last racing 27 days ago and in genuinely good form, another run cannot be far away. Whether Likealightswitch can convert those placed efforts into a second win remains to be seen, but right now this is a horse running with purpose.
