      Verdict

      DRUIDS RIDGE was beaten more than four lengths when second over a mile at Newmarket but that form still looks head and shoulders above anything so far achieved by today's rivals. Alasaal folded tamely once headed when favourite at Haydock but might do better dropped in distance. Headquarters possibly has the greater scope having met trouble in-running on his only start at Naas in October.
