Druid's Altar ran another fine race when runner-up to Golddragon Reef at Bellewstown with Caldwell a couple of lengths back in third and Calcite further behind. Dermot Weld's charge was making his debut that day and looked very green so he's taken to reverse the form. Pyramid Rock looked as though he needed even further than this when sixth in a Tipperary handicap while Monopoly may also do better when getting a stiffer test of stamina. YANKEE STADIUM is a son of Galileo out of a USA Grade 1 winner, He reappeared at Navan a couple of weeks ago after a very long break and looked full of running when badly impeded a furlong out. Compensation awaits here.
