        Verdict

        Pulsating won at Kempton earlier in the year and was runner-up over track and trip last week when The Lacemaker finished fourth. Desert Fox has been beaten off higher marks since winning here in January but BERNIE’S BOY ran well again over 7f during the week having won over today’s trip at Lingfield earlier with Strategic Heights back in third. He gets the nod in this with Deeds Not Words having shown no improvement for a slide down the weights as of yet.
