Mrs Milner will bid to put a Newbury disappointment behind her when she lines up for the Close Brothers Mares’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.
The Paul Nolan-trained mare was a five-length winner of the Pertemps Network Final Hurdle at the showpiece fixture last season, triumphing at 12-1 under Bryan Cooper in the 22-runner handicap.
This term she began her campaign at Limerick in the Listed Cailin Alainn Mares Hurdle, a race she won by a length and a half having started as the evens favourite.
