Soft (Heavy in places)

Like Minded (Ire)

Age: 4
Weight: 11st 0lbs
Or: -

€47,000 son of Wings And Eagles. Represents a top owner and starts out in what could be a weak race. Market support likely significant.

Hourman (Fr)

Age: 4
Weight: 11st 0lbs
Or: -

10/1, close fourth of 5 in a course bumper 39 days ago. Starts out over hurdles in a very winnable race and one of 2 likely types here for the stable. The betting should help guide as to which is the first string.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
11/10/25	Hexham	2m 48y	Good	4/5	Bumper

Count Adhemar (Ire)

Age: 5
Weight: 11st 0lbs
Or: -

Westerner gelding who finished mid-field in an Ayr bumper in January before a distant third in testing ground on hurdle debut there 6 weeks later.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
07/03/25	Ayr	2m	Heavy	3/9	Hurdle
21/01/25	Ayr	2m	Soft	6/12	Bumper

Nosy Neighbour (Ire)

Age: 4
Weight: 11st 0lbs
Or: -

Made frame on second of 2 starts in Irish points in March. Interesting to see what the betting makes of him now hurdling for a new yard.

Wherearethejudges (Ire)

Age: 5
Weight: 11st 0lbs
Or: -

Made frame sole start in points in March. Another for whom the betting should help guide to expectations.

Ivan's Legacy

Age: 4
Weight: 11st 0lbs
Or: -

Modest form at best when fourth on all 3 bumper starts. Hurdle debut.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
07/11/25	Hexham	2m 48y	Gd/Sft	4/11	Bumper
19/10/25	Sedgefield	2m 178y	Good	4/5	Bumper
25/03/25	Hexham	2m 48y	Gd/Sft	4/7	Bumper

Eastern Storm

Age: 5
Weight: 11st 0lbs
Or: -

Point winner but pulled up in a pair of 23f course maiden hurdles under Rules. Takes a marked drop in trip now. Has had wind surgery.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
10/05/25	Hexham	2m 7f 63y	Gd/Sft	-/8	Hurdle
11/05/24	Hexham	2m 7f 63y	Gd/Sft	-/6	Hurdle

Timeform Verdict

In a race where there's no hurdle form of worth to go on the suggestion is J P McManus-owned newcomer LIKE MINDED, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. His stablemate Hourman wasn't beaten far in a course bumper last month and is second choice.

Betting Forecast

9/4 Like Minded (Ire), 7/2 Hourman (Fr), 11/2 Count Adhemar (Ire), 5/1 Nosy Neighbour (Ire), 10/1 Wherearethejudges (Ire), 11/1 Ivan's Legacy, 50/1 Eastern Storm
