Russellform Ramblings
Classic Fiddle is my main hope today. She is a dual bumper winner and won two of her three starts over hurdles last season, her only defeat being to the useful Gaspara.
She should be even better over fences as she is related to 1985 Grand National winner Last Suspect and also to a couple of Irish National winners. She has won twice on heavy ground and the stable are in fine form. The only question mark might be over her fitness as, unlike all the other runners, she lacks a recent outing.
