      Verdict

      Without a win in her first 14 outings, LEXI THE ONE has since won both starts on this surface and bids for a course and distance hat-trick. Richard Fahey’s filly looks worth sticking with on the Fibresand and can defy a further rise in the weights. Equidae has won four of eights starts here, including his latest outing, and should go well again while both Liamba and Lion Tower finished second over track and trip on their respective latest starts and the latter drops down a grade. Molly Mai is still improving and won at Wolverhampton last month.
