15th Nov 2024 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Habitual slow starter; made a flying start to life with this yard in the summer, winning handicaps at Lingfield (1m, AW), Chepstow (1m2f) and Chelmsford (1m2f, AW); not so good the last twice but those runs were on slow ground; return to AW in his favour but still to convince he needs this far. |

Caused 28-1 surprise on soft ground at Leiester (1m4f) in the autumn but was below that form on his two AW starts in February (wore cheekpieces) and is too inconsistent to rely upon; no headgear today. |

Suited by 1m2f on soft or heavy but he didn't seem his old self in 2024 and was well adrift on a recent hurdle debut; has been given a chance at the weights, so a change in his fortunes can't be discounted. |

C&D winner who continues to drop down the weights; however, he's struggled on his five outings since last July and a major turnaround is needed. |

3rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Won three times in 2023, including here over 1m2f, but he's not been in the same form in four starts since being gelded; possibly needed the outing over 1m at Kempton last time and now steps back up to 1m4f, which should suit, with better needed. |

2l and a place behind Squeezebox at Warwick latest, though that sixth still represented stronger form than that of June's Worcester hurdling debut win (2m, good); liable to remain vulnerable under his penalty on that evidence, but this doesn't look as deep a contest as last time. |

Sole success came at Windsor (11.4f, heavy) in October 2024 and ended the last campaign with a fair second of seven at Nottingham (1m2f, soft); off six months and has run well fresh, but others still make greater appeal. |

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]
