Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 81| D

7/1

Back to winning ways at Thirsk last May but wasn't quite able to build on that effort subsequently. Ended the campaign with a lesser effort when sixth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good, 14/1) in July and absent since.

18/1

Made it 2 wins from his final 3 starts last year when scoring at Chelmsford City in December. After 4 months off, looked rusty when sixth of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good, 16/1) 22 days ago, but more needed from his current mark.

Form: 25161-6

Brummell¹⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 78| BF| CD

5/1

C&D winner last May and also scored at Newcastle in November. Needed stronger gallop when fifth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 10/3) final outing in 2024, so he's one to consider having run well on last season's return

Form: 933215-

High Opinion¹⁸⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 75| D

16/1

Three wins from 12 runs last year, with latest success at Ripon in August. Not discredited upped in grade when sixth of 10 in handicap at Catterick (5f, heavy, 9/1) in October, so he could be in the mix if ready to go on return.

South Parade¹⁹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 75| D

10/3

Had been proving consistent last season before taking her form up a notch when doubling her tally in 11-runner handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft, 9/4) in October. Major player with the potential of better still to come.

Form: 313231-

Digital²³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 75| D

22/1

Won twice last summer but ended the year with a couple of lesser efforts. After 5 months off, shaped as if needing the run when fifth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 40/1) 23 days ago, though others still make more appeal.

Form: 15400-5

Minnesota Lad⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Marco Ghiani| T: I Furtado| OR: 74| BF| CD

13/2

Good start for new yard when second at Wolverhampton (6.1f) in December. Unable to justify support (2/1) when fifth of 8 in handicap at the same C&D 44 days ago, racing too freely, but he's not ruled out back down in trip.

Form: 0062-65

Copper Knight^t¹⁹⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 73| D

20/1

Recorded fifteenth career victory when successful at Chester last summer. Gave a good account when sixth of 17 in handicap at York (5f, soft, 20/1) in October, but may just prove vulnerable on return (tongue strap back on).

Form: 407866-

Thunder Star^p²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 73| D

10/3

With cheekpieces reapplied, bounced back to form when winning 17-runner handicap at Doncaster (5f, good, 6/1) 25 days ago. Remains on a workable mark, so with race fitness on her side she can make her presence felt.

Form: 2-23361

Fierce³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: P T Midgley| OR: 71| D

14/1

Making first start since leaving Gary & Josh Moore after 5 month-absence, looked unlucky not to win when neck second of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 14/1) 33 days ago, forced to switch over 1f out. One to note.

Form: 96187-2

Ticktyboo¹⁸⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 69| D

40/1

Winner of a 3-runner maiden at Chepstow in August but well below form back in handicaps next 2 starts, last of 12 at Southwell (6.1f, 33/1) in October. Has work to do on return from 6 months off.

Project Dante^b²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: P J McDonald| T: G R Oldroyd| OR: 68| D

28/1

Posted best effort last year when winning at Redcar in September. After 5 months off, possibly needed the run when 5 lengths fourteenth of 17 to Thunder Star in handicap at Doncaster (5f, good, 11/1) 25 days ago. Blinkers now back on.

Zuffolo^b²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: M Dods| OR: 66| D

28/1

Won twice in 2024, including at Redcar in September. Below form on final 2 outings last year, before last of 17 to Thunder Star in handicap at Doncaster (5f, good, 25/1) on return 25 days ago. Blinkers reapplied.

Forecasts

South Parade (10/3), Thunder Star (10/3), Brummell (5/1), Minnesota Lad (13/2), Burning Cash (7/1), Emeralds Pride (10/1), Glorious Angel (12/1), Fierce (14/1), High Opinion (16/1), Thankuappreciate (18/1), Copper Knight (20/1), Digital (22/1), Zuffolo (28/1), Project Dante (28/1), Ticktyboo (40/1)

Having been holding her form well last year, SOUTH PARADE found some progress when scoring at Musselburgh in October and with more still to offer she could be able to follow up on return. Heading the list of dangers is Thunder Star, who bounced back to winning ways at Doncaster last month, while Fierce made a promising stable debut on his reappearance.
