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.'

Jason Hart joins 1,000-winner club at Beverley
Hart, brought up in Hewick, has built up a good partnership with John and Sean Quinn in Malton and partnered Highfield Princess to four Group One wins for the yard. Fellow Scot Mark Johnston handed him his first job but he credits Eric Alston for giving him his big breakthrough on Ridge Ranger, who won a Listed race and Group Three under Hart in 2016. 'It's a nice milestone to get to,' Hart told Racing TV. 'I started off with Mark Johnston and had a great grounding there where you had a great work ethic instilled into you, then I moved to Declan Carroll and even more of a work ethic is instilled into you there. 'I've had great support from John Quinn and Eric Alston as well, Eric was the one who got me going and put me on a better class of horse. 'My agent said when I get to 100 winners this year it was 1,000 for Great Britain, but I'd actually had a few abroad so that was 1000 worldwide. I've a few more to go for 1000 in Britain on its own but I'm really happy. 'Highfield Princess is the best I've ridden but with a bit of luck Jm Jungle has a chance in the Nunthorpe next week. He's bounced out of his Goodwood win well.'

Prestige run a possibility for Newbury victor Touleen
A daughter of Lope De Vega out of Group Three-winning mare Talaayeb, the Shadwell homebred was sent off favourite to make a successful start to her career for trainer Owen Burrows and obliged in some style. Shadwell's racing manager, Angus Gold, admitted the performance was beyond his expectations and is excited to see how she performs when upped in class. He said: 'We've made an entry for her in the Rockfel and the Fillies' Mile. I spoke to Owen briefly and he said he'll see how she is next week and he might think about putting her in the Prestige at Goodwood, or I believe there's a fillies' novice coming up at Newmarket possibly. 'Owen had only ever said she went all right. They took her for an away-day at Kempton and Jim (Crowley) liked the feel of her, but they didn't press any buttons. 'I think that experience stood her in good stead, she was in the right spot in the race and I loved the way she put the race to bed and kept going all the way to the line. 'It wasn't expected, but it was obviously very nice to see. We'll give her two or three more runs and see how she takes it all. She's not a big, robust filly so we'll just feel our way, but Owen is quite keen to get on and run her in the next three weeks or so.' Another horse held in high regard by the Shadwell team is Almeraq, who having bolted up in an Ayr handicap last month is set to have his sights raised, with Gold not ruling out the possibility of an immediate step up to Group One level in the Sprint Cup at Haydock. 'He was in a Listed race in France the other day (Prix Moonlight Cloud) but we thought it was going to be too quick,' he added. 'I think there is a Listed race at Newmarket at the end of next week (Hopeful Stakes) so we could look at that, depending on the weather. Or if necessary, if things aren't going to work and we want to take the bold route, we could go straight to Haydock for the Sprint Cup. 'We've missed a lot of the season with him, he's always been a potentially nice horse and there is no point going down the handicapping route, so let's just get on and see what the weather does and take it from there.'
