Verdict

BERKSHIRE ROCCO is making up for lost time now and had a few of these in behind when runner-up to a smart one at Kempton 8 weeks ago. The likely stiffer test here will suit and he looks the one to beat. Barenboim continues to go from strength to strength for this yard and must be respected despite slight stamina doubts, while last year's winner Earlofthecotswolds just held off Fleurman at Wolverhampton last month and there shouldn't be much between the pair again.
