MERRY POPPINS remains a low-mileage sort and she ran right up to her best when 2½ lengths third of 16 to Fest Deiz in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (19.9f, good) 38 days ago, sticking to her task. She meets that rival on 7 lb better terms here and gets the nod to come out on top. The latter-named was stretched by 3m latest and is a player once more, along with handicap-debutant Elite Charboniere.
