Verdict
Duplicity is the only one of these who can boast a win and has tumbled down the weights of late so may improve on his recent efforts, but LIBERTINO gets a tentative vote. He went close in a handicap over C&D last week and a similar effort should be good enough here, though it's difficult to be confident about his chances given he's yet to win in 19 starts. Pickled Pumpkin's recent placed form over 5f gives him claims, while Flying Cherry was third over C&D in a maiden last month and could make the frame again.
