Andrew Balding's three-year-old BERSKHIRE ROYAL has done nothing but improve this term and he looks to have a good chance to win again here. Behind him at Ascot latest was Gossip Column but he too had been on the up and if he settles better here he ought to be in the shake-up again. Gabrial's King is much the oldest horse in the race but he likes it here and has shown himself to be competitive of similar marks this term.
