Edmunds keeps in-house club happy as Addosh swoops late under Gethings

Thursday: Huntingdon

Stuart Edmunds extended his good recent run at the Cambridgeshire track when Addosh returned to winning ways after a wind operation in the 2m fillies' juvenile hurdle.

The 9-4 chance had more letters than numbers next to her name but bounced back with a vengeance when swooping on the run-in to deny market leader Ile De Jersey.

Addosh, who was scoring for the second time over hurdles, had exited at the final hurdle on her latest two outings, but ridden with plenty of confidence by Ciaran Gethings, she turned in a silky display of jumping and will now head to Cheltenham next month.

It was another winner for the trainer's in-house Stuart Edmunds Racing Club, a number of whom were in attendance including Ross Pike, who has muscular dystrophy.

Gethings told Racing TV: "If you read her form figures you wouldn't think I was looking forward to riding her but I was.

"It was unfinished business if you like as she's never been a bad jumper, but after she fell at Aintree we found she had a serious wind problem which we've since rectified. The main thing today was to get a clear round, but she's such a quick filly that she took me there a bit soon."

Out The Glen with Lewis Stones and the Sky's The Limit partnership

Stones weighs in with first double

Conditional jockey Lewis Stones rode the first double of his career, initiated when Out The Glen made all in the 2m4f handicap chase.

There were some notable absentees on the card due to the drying ground but the topweight bounced off the surface to see off market rival Thundersockssundae.

Stones, who is attached to winning trainer Olly Murphy, was registering a second consecutive victory on the 10-11 favourite, who was following up a recent win at Leicester.

He said: "Out The Glen is fun to ride and I just let him enjoy himself out there. No one has come past me when I've ridden him and long may it continue."

The jockey completed the double after Ratoute Yutty landed a gamble into 4-1 (from 9) just before the off when coming late to land the closing 3m1f mares' handicap hurdle.

Ajero misses the target

Ajero was 8-11 to repeat his win of a year ago in the feature 2m handicap hurdle but exited the race down the back straight when he took a chance at the fifth-last.

What had started out as a three-runner event after the late defection of the fancied No Risk Des Flos was reduced to a match in which second favourite Kannapolis prevailed.

Well backed in the morning, the 11-8 chance was giving trainer Toby Lawes a first win at the track when he accounted for sole remaining opponent Fransham.
