14/1
Three-time C&D winner but has failed to beat a rival in 3 outings here this year. No massive shock were she to stage a revival down at Class 6 level but a watching brief has to be the percentage call.

Three-time C&D winner, including 2 this year. Last 2 runs disappointing, though, and hopes pinned on a short break having a revitalising effect.

9/2
Tricky customer. Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2021 but she wasn't seen to best effect when fifth of 8 at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) 13 days ago, never nearer. Eased another 2 lb since.

Twelve runs since last win in 2022 but placed here twice last month and likely to be in the shake-up again.

11/1
Finally came good at the 41st time of asking when seeing off 7 rivals in a C&D maiden last month, just clinging on after slipping clear. Another bold show likely if showing up in similar form but doesn't obviously have the profile of one likely to follow up.

6/1
11/1, very good second of 12 in C&D handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 18 days ago, clear of rest. Nudged up 4 lb but should still be competitive.

Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 12 in handicap over C&D (good to soft, 40/1) 18 days ago. Needs more.

Forecasts

Atty's Edge (9/2), First Company (9/2), Gherkin (9/2), Brian The Snail (11/2), Giddy Aunt (6/1), Fair And Square (11/1), Phoenix Glow (12/1), Ruby Cottage (14/1), More Than Likely (14/1), Flagman (16/1), Fishermans Cottage (40/1)

Verdict

GHERKIN arrives on the back of 2 placed runs here and is more than capable of winning off a mark in the 50s. Fair And Square finally got off the mark in a C&D maiden last week and will be very competitive under his penalty if showing up in the same form. Phoenix Glow is another unlikely to be too far away.
