BERKSHIRE ROCCO took a big step forward when only just edged out in the St Leger at Doncaster 3 weeks ago and sets a clear standard back down in class. However, he had a hard race that day so it would be no surprise if Albaflora and Without A Fight made a good race of it, highly progressive as they are.
