Not one of these comes into this with a solid profile, and caution is advised. The market will give clues as far as the likes of Millen Dollar Man and Skipping On are concerned, and market support for either should be heeded. At a price, ROMAN NUMERAL makes some appeal returning to hurdles as he can often travel well in this sort of company and maybe he can carry that effort through here. Claude Carter might hit the frame under conditions he likes.
