Makaiah (10/3), Cleopatra's Needle (5/1), Waystar (6/1), A Mere Bagatelle (15/2), Fine Print (8/1), Red Secret (17/2), Highland Bells (10/1), Obama Army (11/1), Maxwell Smart (16/1), Burvea (20/1), Creative Dancer (20/1), Bright Start (25/1), Sunny Dude (25/1)
OBAMA ARMY failed to get his head in front for Eoin McCarthy last year but makes his debut for a new yard on an attractive mark and he could be worth chancing in an open-looking race. Red Secret and Makaiah rate the main dangers, given that the hat-trick seeking Fine Print has a bit to prove back on turf.
