Formscan - VISCOUNTESS NELSON was able to build on an encouraging hurdling debut to score comfortably at Perth and Nicky Henderson's mare looks up to defying a 7lb penalty on this occasion. Evening Tess has twice hit the woodwork over timber and is probably the main threat, but Frenati had been well supported when falling early at Newton Abbot and must not be overlooked.
