Sharp regression since coming over from Ireland, proving expensive to follow, and didn't offer much from the front back from a break recently; has often pulled hard and is hard to recommend.

Seven 1m wins at Brighton, the most recent when he came wide and late from last to first in the Class 4 Brighton Mile (28-1) on Wednesday, registering first win above Class 6; his short-head second here three starts back confirms that he stays 1m2f, but he has stamina to prove over this new trip.

Six-time winner over C&D, most recently on good to firm ground last month; posted career-best effort when close/clear second here (1m2f, soft) last month but moves up in grade today and seems likely to find some of his younger rivals better handicapped.
