Deauville repeat firmly on the radar for Lazzat
His next port of call is likely to be the Deauville feature, a Group One he won by an impressive three lengths last season.
'We were delighted with him at Ascot, that was a very serious performance,' said Richard Brown, racing manager to Wathnan.
'He probably had a hard enough race, they always do at that level, so we said we'd give him a bit of a chance to give him a bit of a wind down and then wind him back up again.
'His next run will be in the Prix Maurice de Gheest and Jerome's delighted with him, he came out of the race very well.
'We could have brought him back quicker if we'd wanted to, but we just thought we'd give him the chance now to be a fresh horse going into the autumn.
'We want to look after him, he's a multiple Group One winner and he's clearly a very high-class animal.
'We'll race him with his long-term future in mind and hope he can be around for the next few years.'

Golden Eagle swoop in the pipeline for globetrotting Luther
The three-year-old Frankel colt celebrated victory, albeit through the stewards' room, in the Grade Two National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame Stakes at Saratoga in America on Friday, which came just four weeks after taking place honours in the Belmont Derby at the same venue. Now, the Bedford House handler is seeking to emulate the success of the William Haggas-trained Lake Forest at Rosehill in Australia, following a stint back at home and a potential run in the Group Two Park Stakes at Doncaster on St Leger day. 'He couldn't have taken it any better,' Fellowes said on Wednesday. 'He's on his way home and will be back tonight. Really proud of him. 'He ran third in a Grade One over there and the form's worked out really well. The first and second in the Belmont Derby were first and third in the Saratoga Derby, so that form looks strong and he beat some good European horses in the process. 'Then we went and won, slightly controversially, but I think anyone watching that race saw how messy it was and I think if we had a relatively smooth trip it would have been a really, really good race between us and probably the best turf three-year-old horse in America (Zulu Kingdom). 'He's coming home, but at the moment, the potential plan is to head to the Golden Eagle down in Sydney. It's a A$10million (£4.89m) race, seven and a half furlongs, he has so much speed, I've got no problem with the seven and a half with him. 'His part-owner lives in Singapore so that makes sense, so that's very much our end-of-season target. He's probably done enough now to get a slot in that race. 'Whether he has a run here before then as a little prep run, not quite sure yet. I put him in the Park Stakes at Doncaster, so that could be a goer.' Shes Perfect is another leading light in the Fellowes yard. However, the Sioux Nation filly – who unfortunately for her connections suffered contrasting fortunes in the stewards' room when relegated from first place in the French 1,000 Guineas – will not be seen again until next year. Fellowes said: 'She's absolutely good as gold, but she's finished for the year. 'She's sound, which is the most important thing, but X-rays we took last week showed a definite small weakness in her right-hind fetlock which just needs a little bit of time to heal and the vets were concerned that if we pressed on, something a bit more significant could happen. 'It sounds very positive, it just needs time and they are very positive that she'll be back next season where hopefully she can bag the Group One that she so deserves. 'It was just too risky. She's had a long season anyway, she would probably have only had two more races I'd have thought. 'We've not missed out on loads, I'm gutted that we are not running in a Foret because that race would have absolutely suited her, but maybe that will wait until next year. 'She's a lovely big filly, she's only going to improve with age so next year should be great for her.'
