C&D winner on heavy ground in 2021; solid campaign for new yard this year includes three wins, the latest in early August; last two starts were over 1m4f and 1m6f, appearing to stay the new trip last time but this drop back in distance is not a great concern; considered.

Tends to be slowly away but that didn't stop him winning at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) in August off 3lb lower mark; has run creditably in three starts since and he should run well. |

Did okay back on the Flat when fifth of nine at Windsor (11.5f, good) last month in new headgear combination (tongue-tie removed here but cheekpieces remain); now 2lb lower than his last winning mark but needs to show a bit more. |

Three wins last year, the latest over 1m2f on soft in September (5lb higher today); the big stumbling block for supporters is that he ran a shocker on his only start this term, but he had a good record fresh last term and has now had another three months off; not dismissed.

Ran here three times last July-September for a win and two seconds; his progress ended on final outing (gelded since) and peak efforts have been at 1m2f, but he won first time out last season and needs a close look for yard which has had recent winners. |

Best form from six races in Ireland when second in a Killarney handicap (1m, soft) in May; tailed off on final start there and well below form over 1m on both British starts, so a return to soft ground is the positive.

Narrowly off the mark in July at the 15th attempt; that was in the hood first time (kept since) and she was short-headed next time (again 1m2f on good to soft), despite rearing at the start, but never got competitive after another slow start at Leicester last time; probably not the percentage call.

Front-runner; 9yo who has done most of his winning at Windsor (5-15 here) and this is his first appearance here of 2024; unconvincing over the past year and a smaller field might be ideal, but he acts on soft and this is one of those occasions when he could be interesting.

Beaten 22l and 35l in his first two starts; however, it was only just over 6l when he ran on from the back into fifth of nine in a maiden at Chelmsford (1m, AW; 40-1) on his third attempt, hanging left in the closing stages, but it was still a promising effort and he's bred to stay at least 1m2f; one to note for market support off this pretty lowly mark on handicap debut.

Verdict
After three starts, LZAZ has never been seriously involved but there was clear promise over 1m on the AW last time and he could have a lot more to offer now that he goes handicapping over a longer trip. His market strength should give another major clue. Nearly all the others are vastly more exposed, but Imperial Cult and Beautiful Crown should run well, while Lawn Ranger might revive back at Windsor. Ectocross could be worth a second look despite running so poorly on his only start this season.[Richard Austen]
