7/2

All the better for reappearance when landing 13-runner handicap at Pontefract in April. Runner-up twice later in spring and unlucky not to finish closer than fourth at Beverley last month. Scuppered by wide draw at same course since and has dropped to a handy mark.

6/1

Losing run is mounting up but this C&D winner arrives in decent heart, latest when respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm, 9/2) 32 days ago. Others appeal more, though.

Zuffolo^b²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: M Dods| OR: 56| D

14/1

Given a chance by the assessor and duly took advantage when narrowly winning 6-runner handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Remains feasibly treated and ought to go well again.

Forecasts

South Parade (5/4), Beerwah (10/3), Jojo Rabbit (7/2), Albegone (6/1), Zuffolo (14/1), Pouting (50/1)

SOUTH PARADE posted her best effort for some time when returning to winning ways at Ayr earlier this month and remains attractively handicapped on old form. She may be able to follow up. Beerwah and Zuffolo are feared most.
