Highland Warrior set for winning fling

HIGHLAND WARRIOR is napped to open his account for the season in the Weatherbys Insurance Handicap over five furlongs at Newcastle today.

The five-year-old entire goes well with plenty of cut in the ground and he will certainly have conditions to his liking at Gosforth Park, where the going is heavy following torrential rain over the weekend.

Jim Goldie’s charge was a decent third over seven furlongs on a fast surface at Musselburgh last time, but he is equally effective over the minimum trip, particularly when the ground is testing.
