Gypsy Whisper and Yaaser are the only two course winners in this line-up and the latter has been thereabouts recently. Royal Musketeer finished ahead of Yarmouth winner Thapa Vc at Leicester having finished second at Newmarket on his reappearance while Ibn Aldar has won twice on Polytrack and has been lightly raced on Turf. Ey Up Its The Boss has every chance on a recent second over a mile at Thirsk with the winner going in again at York on Friday but Mick and David Easterby have a couple of interesting contenders. CARLTON AND CO was running well on the all-weather at the end of last year. He’s not raced since January but could be very well treated back on Turf and is preferred to Min Till.
