Lazzar

Lazzar is a 4-year-old that has shown real promise on certain tracks and surfaces but has hit a dry spell that now stretches back seven months. The horse has won 4 of its 26 races — a 15% win rate — which is respectable for a horse competing mainly at Class 5 level, but the lack of recent success is starting to define its campaign. It last won at Kempton Park in early March, and has not tasted victory in its last six outings, finishing 4-5-4-6-4-2 over that run.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's detailed breakdown

What stands out is how much Lazzar thrives on certain surfaces and tracks. On normal ground it wins about 1 in every 3 races (3 wins from 10), which is significantly better than its overall record and suggests firm, dry conditions suit it best. At Lingfield Park, the horse has developed into a course specialist, winning 2 of its 7 races there and showing an obvious affinity with the track. That first win came at Lingfield in December 2025, and the horse keeps returning to form there — clear evidence of a horse that knows a course well and can adapt to its characteristics. With regular jockey Finley Marsh, Lazzar has won 2 of 11 races together, a win rate just above 18%, suggesting a working partnership that has delivered when it counts. Trainer Charlie Wallis, based at Ardleigh in Essex, has sent out 7 winners this season and will be hoping a return to Lingfield on normal ground can spark Lazzar back into the winner's circle.
