Trainer Nigel Blackiston said the rising five-year-old needed an operation to have a bone chip removed from her knee.
“It’s in the higher part of the knee and it needs to come out and with the timing of it she’ll have to miss the Spring,” Blackiston said.
“It’s in an unusual part of the knee, you don’t really usually see bone chips in this part of the knee but the good thing is her recovery should be fine and she’ll be back for the autumn.
