      Verdict

      Hamilton winner Terenzium may be worth opposing off a 5lb higher mark here as he was a long way behind Pokfulham at the same track earlier. Jim Goldie's charge only went down by a neck to Simonside over C&D last month and will be thereabouts again. Jewelled Dagger has been struggling lately, however, while Tasman Tiger looks very ordinary though has improved a little in his last couple of starts. LIGHT THE CITY is penalised for a recent success at Southwell but has improved out of all recognition in his last two starts and a hat-trick beckons.
