Five Winds¹⁵

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to soft, 17/2) 15 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. 6f shouldn't be an issue and she's not yet exposed.

Gatwick Kitten^t¹⁸³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 55| D

28/1

Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 14/1). Off 6 months but merits consideration given he's on his last winning mark.

Forecasts

Catherine Chroi (5/2), Five Winds (10/3), Rwenearlytheredad (13/2), Shark Two One (7/1), Gherkin (7/1), Captain Dandy (9/1), Jack Of Clubs (12/1), Autumn Flight (14/1), All In The Hips (16/1), Blue Collar Lad (20/1), My Genghis (25/1), Gatwick Kitten (28/1), Nubough (33/1), Tilsworth Turf (40/1), Peachey Carnehan (66/1), Piranheer (66/1)

GHERKIN showed up nicely on his reappearance minus his usual headgear 3 weeks ago and with the blinkers back on, he's expected to take a step forward, Catherine Chroi has already had an excellent 2024 but her new mark and a penalty asks for more, so Captain Dandy is feared most.
