Fontwell Park Race 1 - Weatherbys Nhstallions.co.uk Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
VISCOUNTESS NELSON (1) built on a Plumpton maiden hurdle second gaining a dominant Perth win tackling 4000m by 5L. That latest display sets a strong standard and she looks tough to stop again. FRENATI (5) came to grief with a Newton Abbot fall last time however her previous second attempting 3400m there beaten 0.5L gives her clear claims if jumping cleanly. Represents the main danger. ELATED (2) placed in two straight hurdle starts including most recently when third contesting 3200m at Warwick defeated 7L and remains a leading contender. Makes appeal. MARIA MES (3) switches to jumps after a Uttoxeter flat run. Likely well schooled. Not to be discounted.

Recent form hard to fault. Last start finished second of 7 starters at Newton Abbot on May 13 over 3700m, 1.0 len behind Reel Orange with 71kg at $8. The run before finished second of 7 starters at Uttoxeter on May 2 over 3200m, 3.5 len behind Final Surprise carrying 66.5kg at $7.50. Racing well. Best form over the jumps stacks up well.

Useful filly. Last run fell at Newton Abbot on May 27 over 3400m. The start before that; finished second of 12 starters at Newton Abbot on April 4 over 3400m, 0.5 len behind Seedling with 73kg at $12. Well-placed to turn things around.
