Forecasts

Druid's Altar (9/4), Myth Buster (10/3), Star Max (7/2), The Very Man (4/1), Jungle Junction (5/1)

DRUID'S ALTAR wasn't disgraced when fourth in a Grade 3 novice at Galway, despite a mixed round of jumping, and he could prove a tough nut to crack back up in trip here granted a more sure-footed display. The Very Man unseated rider in that Galway race and there's also room for improvement in the jumping department where he is concerned. Still, the 7-y-o merits respect, along with Myth Buster.
