Bubble Dubi

What makes those numbers meaningful is that they connect directly to how trainer Stuart Edmunds manages him. Bubble Dubi has a known tendency to break a blood vessel — a respiratory issue that has interrupted his season more than once and required long gaps between races. Edmunds has been open about it: the plan is to train him in the field to help his breathing, then aim him at longer-distance hurdle races later in the summer. He specifically wants to avoid fast, dry ground, which fits exactly what the statistics already show. This is a yard that has sent out 24 winners this season, so they know what they are doing, and they are clearly being selective with Bubble Dubi rather than throwing him at every opportunity.

The most recent win — at Aintree in November 2025, around six months ago — was a genuinely significant moment. Aintree is one of Britain's most famous racecourses, and winning there at any level takes something. His best performances consistently come over longer trips of two miles or more, where he wins roughly 1 in 3 races (2 from 6), suggesting he needs time to get into a rhythm and find his stride. Regular partner Ciaran Gethings has ridden him in 9 of his 16 races, winning once together — a modest ratio, but the pair clearly know each other well, and Edmunds has flagged races like the Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen as realistic targets. Get him on wet ground, over a staying trip, and Bubble Dubi is the kind of horse that makes race days interesting.
