Showed his 40-1 win at Bath (5.7f, firm) was no fluke by running well in an admittedly substandard National Stakes at Sandown (5f, good; Listed) where he gave the impression this step back up in trip will suit.

Thrice-raced gelding who is seeking a first win but has sound form, notably close second at Musselburgh to the subsequent Lily Agnes winner who remains unbeaten; ran well upped to 6f at York (good) last time; solid claims.
