LONGEST TRAVELLER: ANNIE’S ANGEL trained by A McGuinness, Ireland.
WHITLETTS did better with her debut run under her belt equipped with a first-time hood when second in a Ludlow juvenile back in December and very much appealing as the type to progress further for her leading stable, she looks to hold sound claims of going one place better Bumper scorer The Procrastinator could well emerge as the chief danger
