Verdict

SWEET WORLD is the form pick to win the claimer at the expense of Nikolaivich and War Anthem. The selection was only just touched off when sent up to Hamilton last time out. Prior to that, he had winning form in a seller at Redcar. He is clearly no world beater but at this level he is respected and is certain to be in the shake-up. Nikolaivich caught the eye when second to Shotley Mac at Redcar last time out. He was a drifter that day and ran better than expected but if he is able to recapture that form he has place claims once again. War Anthem is relatively unexposed and is dropped into claiming for the first time. He was well supported when he was beaten at Windsor last time out but he is respected at this level and any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to Sweet World.
