Formscan By John O'Riordan - A full-brother to Irish 1000 Guineas winner Lake Victoria, DRUIDS GLEN catches the eye on debut. The Aidan O'Brien trained colt is making his first start at a relatively late stage of the season but connections are obviously keen to get a race into him on turf. It would be no surprise to see him land this prize, before possibly having one run at a higher level next month. Fifth at the Curragh earlier this month, the Aidan Melia trained Unauthorized arguably has the best form of those with previous experience. While the colt will need to improve further, he has place possibilities at least. The Johnny Murtagh trained newcomer Zenford is also worthy of respect in a contest with little worthwhile form.
