Warwick Race 2

Denis O'connell Memorial Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)

Stake: $13,191

BARLOVENTO (1) brings a promising profile which was enhanced when scoring by 0.5L a 4000m novices hurdle at Carlisle. Top selection. MA SHANTOU (4) secures leading jockey after managing a 14L runner-up effort contesting a 3000m maiden hurdle at Wincanton. Open to further progress. DOCTOR MIDAS (5) was not disgraced debuting with a fifth in a 3200m jumpers flat race during May at Haydock. Can improve. RUBBER BALL (6) kept on well to be fifth at Cheltenham racing first up. Interesting.
