Formscan  - BERKSHIRE NUGGET seemed all at sea on the downhill drive for home at Goodwood, but may be worth another chance at this more galloping track. The Andrew Balding-trained gelding was well supported in the betting that day and any faithful supporters could be rewarded now he also has experience of the trip. Ebt's Guard rates the chief threat given he comfortably accounted for Swift Victory (fourth) and Surveyor (fifth) when registering a respectable third-placed finish at Kempton on his seasonal bow.
