      Verdict

      LEXI'S HERO is on a roll and worth sticking with. He was successful here before making all to score by over four lengths at Lingfield last week so a 6lb penalty looks unlikely to prevent him from landing a hat-trick. Desert Strike may finish closer to the selection back over 5f today and should have the beating of Expose, while Island Legend finished well ahead of West Coast Dream when second at Lingfield on his latest start. I'll Be Good didn't see out 6f here last week but still carries a penalty for his earlier win over track and trip.
