Formscan By Gary Carson - DRUIDS GLEN takes a significant step up in trip on his return and is also fitted with cheekpieces for the first time. The Frankel colt, a full-brother to four-time Group 1 winner Lake Victoria, showed some promise in two maiden runs last season, particularly when making the running in a hot Curragh event. There should be more to come over this trip this season. Mendez ran a nice race to finish fourth here last month, at a big price. That was his first official racecourse start and he’s entitled to improve a bit. Bay Of Stars finished mid-division after missing the kick on his debut here last November. He could be a potential improver on his return to action.%0A%0A
