        Verdict

        Legendary Lunch has never raced over a trip this far and has proved himself best at Abu Dhabi. Gabr won a Listed race at Goodwood in 2018 and only had the one run here last winter. He'll be better for last month's run at Abu Dhabi and is expected to run well. Lyndon B arrives in top form having battled to a neck victory over Marhaban in a Sandown handicap in August. The runner-up is 3lb better off so there should be little between them again. ZAKOUSKI, a comfortable winner over the smart Headman at Kempton in November 2018, was supported for the Craven Stakes at Newmarket in April but could only finish fifth and hasn't run subsequently. He's obviously unexposed and an opening mark of 100 should prove workable.
