Verdict

SOME FIDDLE has been running really well in Irish maiden hurdles and looks to have plenty in hand of her opponents here and should provide Gordon Elliott with another Perth winner. The Accordion mare, progressing nicely, has gone really well the last twice and looks a winner-in-waiting. Ryton Runner has fair form over timber but plenty to find with the selection on what he's produced to date. Merry Minster showed promise on her Cartmel debut but was very disappointing returned to the Lake District venue last time, whilst Royal Sam has shown promise in bumper company in his native land and now makes his hurdles debut.
