Aidan O'Brien has saddled the winner of this maiden several times in the past and DRUIDS GLEN could be another for the yard. Like so many from his powerful yard, he is bred to be smart and it will be an ominous sign for his rivals if he's strong in the betting. Zenford is prefererd to stablemate Karrygrant for forecast purposes, while Unauthorized would have an each-way chance if able to build on his latest effort at the Curragh.
