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.
