Options remain open ahead of Lazy Griff St Leger bid Charlie Johnston is weighing up Lazy Griff’s next move as the talented colt eyes a potential fourth encounter with Lambourn in the Betfred St Leger. Lazy Griff Set for Possible Fourth Showdown with Lambourn Connections are yet to confirm whether Lazy Griff will line up again before heading to Doncaster in September, where he’s currently priced at 7-1 by Paddy Power for the Betfred St Leger. The colt has already faced Aidan O’Brien’s Lambourn three times this season — finishing second behind him in both the Chester Vase and the Derby, and then placing third in the Irish Derby. A fourth clash could be on the cards at Doncaster, with Lambourn priced as the 15-8 favourite. Johnston Considers Next Steps Ahead of Town Moor Target "We haven’t come to any firm decisions on that yet, but whatever we do it will all revolve around the Leger, that’s for sure," Johnston said. He added that Lazy Griff had a short break after the Irish Derby to recover and is now back in light training. "He had a couple of easy weeks as the main priority was to get the horse out of Ireland in good shape and back cantering and we’ve done that," he explained. The choice now is whether to run him once more before the Leger, or go directly to the Group 1 contest and plan for one final appearance later in the year. "They’re nice decisions to have to make, I wouldn’t mind plenty more of them," Johnston concluded.
