Prolific pointer Dido has placed in his last two under Rules but will be tested by less-exposed types in this. A winner at Stratford in August and dropped a further pound since his third at Warwick, GETAWAYTONEWBAY could be the one to be on with the ground riding on the fast side of good. Fontwell runner-up Bad Boy Du Pouldu is now 0-10 over fences but Princess Midnight will have needed her run at Plumpton and Coby Nine deserves a change of luck. Lake Baikal is another who shouldn’t be far away.
