Angel's Whisper, three times a winner on the Flat, will need to settle better if she is to make a hurdler but she wasn’t entirely disgraced here last month. Given an enterprising ride, Totally Rejected never looked like being caught at Cartmel and will probably try and run the finish out of these but MISS M has more scope. She was easy to back here two weeks ago on her hurdles bow but breezed to the front at the last and only had to be pushed out in the closing stages – there should be more to come. Dansant Express disappointed in two runs in bumpers.
