Four-time winner over hurdles but didn't find a great deal for pressure when fourth on her first two starts this year and, following another wind op, well beaten on her latest outing; swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time blinkers; stable has more obvious chance with Merry Poppins.

Neither 3m2f trip nor familiar assertive tactics to blame when dropping out quickly on last month's chasing debut at Newton Abbot (beaten 28l); needs to jump better, but too early to write off; down a useful 6lb.

Had rather mixed record over hurdles but won by 16l here (3m2f, good) in the autumn and returned from layoff with very respectable run over similar trip at Stratford last month; has possibilities if she takes well to chasing but may be reliant on good ground.
