Berkshire back on track, according to trainer Paul Cole

Paul Cole reports classy performer Berkshire to be back in routine work after being forced to miss the Prix Ganay.
The four-year old had been due to run in the extended mile-and-a-quarter Group One contest at Longchamp last Sunday but had to miss the race due to an infection.
Despite that setback, Cole reports Berkshire to be back on track now, with entries in the likes of the Prince Of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot and the Coral Eclipse to look forward to.
The son of Mount Nelson was last seen when winning the Darley Stakes at Newmarket last October on what was just his second start of the season.
Cole said: "Berkshire was going for the Ganay but he had a bacterial infection which happened over the winter and something he just got at the wrong time.
"We have had that treated and he has now got over that. He is back in work and we now have no problems at all with him.
"He is a very good horse who has run four of his five races in stakes races. He has just been unlucky.
"He is entered up in races like the Eclipse and would not need a run beforehand, but I would only run him in those types of races if he is 100 per cent on the day."
