1 (5)	Obama Army Bay J:George Bass(3) T:Jack Channon	J:George Bass(3) T:Jack Channon	140	—	660-42	60	66	40	8d	—	—	-13	9.2	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Improved the last twice and handled the softish ground fine at Nottingham latest.
4 (6)	Golden Maverick Bay J:William Buick T:Ian Williams	J:William Buick T:Ian Williams	135	—	8-673	55	68	34	16d	—	—	-14	7.9	0.63/1	5/2 29%
Came from well off the pace to be third at Southwell and can improve again.
10 (9)	Angel De Luz Bay J:Jonny Peate(5) T:Amy Murphy	J:Jonny Peate(5) T:Amy Murphy	126	—	099-	46	51	-	194d	—	—	-15	6.2	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Didn't show much in these colours when trained by George Boughey, from 7f to 1m.
5 (2)	H Key Lails Grey J:Harrison Shaw T:Craig Lidster	J:Harrison Shaw T:Craig Lidster	135	p	0-3612	55	67	23	16d	—	—	-7	4.3	1.75/1	8 13%
Competitive of late on the AW and obvious contender if handling the conditions.
6 (7)	Seraphia Bay J:Dylan Hogan T:Michael Bell	J:Dylan Hogan T:Michael Bell	129	—	080-	49	58	-	179d	—	—	-4	1.6	3.75/1	16 6%
Quiet last season (6f/7f) but has a good pedigree and may improve as a 3yo handicapper.
2 (10)	Brabusach Chestnut J:Marco Ghiani T:Ivan Furtado	J:Marco Ghiani T:Ivan Furtado	135	—	40-98	55	60	-	57d	—	—	-3	3	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Has gone backwards since a fairly decent debut on the AW last October; debut on grass.
7 (8)	Ribkana Bay J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	128	—	86758-	48	58	41	221d	—	—	-4	1.4	5.00/1	20/1 5%
0-5 and never improved for nurseries but this softer ground may help.
3 (1)	Lough Swilly Lass Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:Lucinda Russell	J:Rossa Ryan T:Lucinda Russell	135	—	000-8	55	51	26	58d	—	—	-1	2.1	9.75/1	40 3%
Modest Irish form and beat only one home on British/handicap debut over 6f on the AW.
9 (4)	Carmentis Bay J:Graham Lee T:Ben Haslam	J:Graham Lee T:Ben Haslam	126	—	60-856	46	56	29	47d	—	—	-2	0.8	9.75/1	40 3%
Not that competitive in any of her six runs and has much to prove.
8 (3)	Havanawing Bay J:Jack Garritty T:Mark Walford	J:Jack Garritty T:Mark Walford	126	—	089-	46	50	21	227d	—	—	-2	0.7	12.25/1	50 2%
Quiet in her three qualifying runs over 6f and there's plenty of speed in her pedigree.
