Despite a slipping saddle, the veteran Dido beat Regaby just over three lengths over 2m4f here last month but the runner-up may well turn the tables over this longer trip on 4lb better terms. Mister Tickle looks a thorough stayer while My Lady Grey has won twice here over hurdles but finished tailed off on her chasing bow. NO NO MAESTRO has only been raised a pound for beating an in-from rival at Uttoxeter and it’s worth taking the risk that he stays the extra here.
