Good runs both starts this season; pedigree suggests this step up from 2m will suit
5	Uncle Bert Bay J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies	154	—	159-1F	138	158	141	28d	—	—	+15	24.7	2.25/1	9/1 10%

5-16 over fences; won at Aintree on Boxing Day; up 3lb and this is more competitive
