Formscan By Mark Nunan - Three of these were easy winners last time out and it will be a surprise if one of the trio doesn’t emerge victorious. NELSON COUNTY, a winning three-miler over hurdles, made short work of his rivals at this venue last month on just his second start over fences. From the family of Irish Grand National winner Our Duke, he may improve for this step up in trip and more testing ground is unlikely to be a negative for him. On his first completed start over fences, Rokathir came home clear over 3m at Navan and looks a leading player despite a 15lb rise in his rating, while ready Punchestown winner Showurappreciation is another for the shortlist. %0A
