Lavazza Stakes (Heritage Handicap)

Won twice as a juvenile and run with credit on both outings this term, latest when fourth of 8 in listed race (83/10) at Deauville (9.9f, good) 27 days ago. Now tried over longer trip/blinkers applied on handicap debut and warrants respect.

Made the frame on several occasions since making a winning return in May, including when second over C&D last month. Below par latest, though, and lacks potential of some of his rivals.

Three-time winner (all 7f) in 2022 but hasn't added to those victories this year and has yet to prove he stays this trip. Cheekpieces now added for first time.

Lightly-raced colt who won 2 minor events before creditable third of 15 on handicap debut at Goodwood (9.9f, soft) 37 days ago. Worth a crack at this longer trip and may have more to give yet.

Scored at Chester (10.3f) in May and has largely continued in good order, latest when second in Beverley handicap (12,1f, good to firm) a week ago. Ought to give another good account.

Firmly on the up after handicap victories at Lingfield (11.6f) and Leicester (11.8f) in recent months and looks a big player despite a 7 lb higher mark.

Typically improving middle-distance handicapper for shrewd yard, scoring for third time at Salisbury (12f) in July before career-best effort when runner up at Glorious Goodwood. Ridden too aggressively at York latest and must enter calculations.

Won for fourth time in a row when narrowly taking 11-runner handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 23 days ago, battling well. 3 lb rise fair and is one for the shortlist.

Consistent performer who posted another creditable effort when second of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (10f, good) 30 days ago, clear of rest. 3 lb higher now but likely to go well again.
