18:20 Warwick — EHB Residential Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race) model predictions

Connemara Joe (IRE)

0%

Unplaced in all seven Irish points, most recently when pulled up on soft ground in April; can only be watched on this rules debut.

Dunstall Star (GB)

0%

Led close home to win modest Exeter bumper (good ground) in April and made a lot of the running over C&D on last month's hurdling debut, albeit he was held in third before last-flight fall; his tendency to race too freely is a worry but he has a good chance to collect at least a minor prize.

Louis Veron (FR)

0%

Close second in 15-runner Chepstow novice (2m, good to soft) on debut in October; absent until turned over at skinny odds at Southwell (2m, good) last month but the winner was a useful Flat performer who has since followed up; ought to go one better here.

Lyric (IRE)

0%

Showed some useful Flat form for the Gosden stable in 2024 but last year's stable debut was disappointing and he made a low-key start to his hurdling career when eighth of ten in Musselburgh maiden (2m1f, good to soft; jumping lacked fluency) in March; needs to take a big step forward.

Chambers (IRE)

0%

Has shown some ability on the Flat (albeit without being placed) and wasn't disgraced when sixth on last month's hurdle debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good) but was well beaten after racing too freely at Bangor 11 days ago.

Garde My Guinness (IRE)

0%

Third in three good-ground bumpers in early part of last season but the form isn't anything to get excited about, and she was soundly beaten on her first two hurdling starts, the latter last month, after a layoff.
