UNCLE BERT has done nothing wrong in finishing second here and at Sandown, both on ground with plenty of give, and can get off the mark. Propelled was in touch for a long way until weakening quickly over the course and distance last month with Hercule Morse just in front of him, also weakening from the second last. Either could snatch a place as could The Big Reveal, who ran well for a 125/1 chance at Chepstow.
