High draws are normally preferable in races up to a mile at Warwick and in a tricky contest, we will follow the years of experience that this maxim rewards. Connections paid plenty for Night Wolf but Mick Channon's horse has showed little on three starts so we will pass on her today. Bramantino was gelded during last autumn and he subsequently caught the eye on his first foray over seven. Richard Fahey's team are in good form over the sticks and it would be no surprise to see this one fit and fancied. Of the remainder, the lightly raced Lunar Leader should be fit enough to do herself justice after a couple of weeks in maiden company. While Leitrim Rock and Alfred Sisley would have better chances had they been more favourably drawn. Our vote goes to Hannamie. He caught the eye when staying on stoutly over six furlongs at Folkestone and he looks to be fairly well handicapped on a return to seven.
