Cotton End was tailed off in her first try over fences and pulled up in her second. EFFERNOCK FIZZ is 0-9 in chases but she was second at Cheltenham in October and beaten less than a length at Bangor latest. A useful hurdler, her turn appears to have arrived as Walk In Clover took a backward step at Uttoxeter last time.
