Thanks to all who have contributed so far. A couple of hours left, so keep ‘em coming.

Could I have a parse of mattrom's @25, please?

[Hi Les40 - long time no see. How are you?]

OK, I see the wordplay for 25, but still don't get the (not Dancer) bit - is it just to indicate that antelopes aren't deer?

Chrise, yes, apparently they are different families.
Could I have a parse for Jono 12 & 17, please?

Thanks mattrom. There was controversy in a Guardian puzzle a few months ago when deer and antelopes were confused!
I skipped 12 as it wasn't a contender for me.
17 has a hidden NYALA, a species of antelope

Hi mattrom, you'll find eland & 2 gnus "kept in captivity" in jono's #12.

Thanks Chris and Ginge, that’s it. I was making my way through extensive list of antelopes in Bradford’s :-)

Aargh! ... Thanks, Chrise and Ginge.

many good ones ...

Vote Mattrom @9

... just ahead of Spikepunk @22

I liked tyke51 @15, jono @17, and tyke51 @21 (the latter a particularly inventive construction!).
