Verdict

MIGHTY BERKSHIRE has looked a different proposition the last twice, doing well to make up as much ground as he did when opening his account at Galway, and is taken to follow up with his yard in top form. Tolka Row is feared most on the back of his breakthrough success, with Diamond Secret also considered if taking up this engagement.
