Verdict
Not the most experienced on the AW TEAMtalk go for Newmarket specialist Warden Warren who has proved himself adaptable to most surfaces, is suited by this trip and ran well on his only appearance at Wolverhampton earlier in the year. On the negative side his trainer is not in the best of form. Teehee is becoming a bit of a Wolverhampton specialist, running well on his last four outings without winning and was beaten here in September by a former Wokingham winner and the strength of Kieren Fallon. He has been given a little break and could come back strongly. Bullfighter has shown his liking for this surface in the past and although this step up in trip is an unknown factor he could still make a brave bid from the front. Feast Of Romance rarely runs a bad race here and is one to consider despite his stable being in atrocious form.
