Verdict
ol Climate and Vanderbilt are possible improvers but those with more established form look the ones to focus upon. Prerogative and Hurricane Rush have already displayed a sufficient level of ability to land an ordinary maiden contest and are preferred in that order, whilst the market should prove instructive regarding the claims of Red Caravel and Romanor. However, the Newmarket third achieved by FIREFRIGHT behind Rich Legacy on debut reads well and the Noseda colt ought to house greater scope for improvement after just the one start and can prove good enough.
