The David Menuisier yard are going well currently and their daughter of Helmut, GYPSY WHISPER can follow up her impressive victory over C&D last month to win for the third time in her career from six starts. The filly appears tough enough to handle her 7lb rise in the weights as she bids to hold of the attentions of her nearest rivals in the shape of, Newmarket third, Fantail, The Saeed Bin Suroor-trained Arabic Charm and Portugeseprincess who may attempt to make all under jockey Hollie Doyle.
