Fourth on all four appearances at Brighton; 29 races overall, with both his wins on Southwell AW last March/September; thrown in on that form but he was out of form this winter and on recent return to turf after five months off; others have more pressing claims.

Both wins have been gained at Southwell (6f/7f) but he was out of sorts there in his final three runs last year; on lower mark back on turf but he's 0-8 in this sphere and has something to prove after five months off.

Both of his wins have been on AW over 7f and he's yet to finish in the first three in six starts on turf; failed to beat a rival at Yarmouth (1m, good) three weeks ago and now drops back down to 6f with the visor back on (replacing cheekpieces); probably better on AW over a bit further.
