      Verdict

      VERINCO may have been all out to score at Hamilton last time but with the runner up turning out the next day to score he looks better value for the win than the margin suggests and looks worth chancing. Sharpe Eclipse is still unexposed and won well enough on his last run to point to there being more to come and Paul Hanagan is an eye-catching jockey booking on Six Diamonds. Rowayton had no luck in running before running on well at Beverley so might be another for this list but the form supporting Verinco's chance looks good.
