Lyndon B hasn’t been beaten far in any of his races but has looked as though a strongly-run mile would suit. NAZEEF looks ideally suited by this trip and made a very encouraging start here earlier this month so it will take something special to prevent her losing her maiden tag. Critical Time is by Pivotal and a half-sister to a couple of winners while Ghalyoon has changed stables and wouldn’t have been kept in training unless thought capable of showing some ability.
