Verdict

In the claimer, Further Outlook is selected ahead of Diamond Josh and Renegade. Further Outlook comes here on a roll, his two-successive wins having come at selling and claiming level, and, in a race where he fares well on adjusted ratings, has to be given every chance. Diamond Josh is also on a roll following two selling wins and he might give the selection the most to do. All of Sweet Pickle's wins have so far come on the all-weather, while Renegade could be given a squeak based on his best 2005 form, but Snow Wolf is held by Diamond Josh based on recent form. Silver Visage might prove best of the rest but, for the selection, we will stick with Further Outlook.
