Balmoral Castle has won twice under today's pilot this year. He beat Whinging Willie by a length at Newbury in June and is now a pound better off so should confirm running with Gary Moore's charge, though has a bit to find to reverse later running with HECTOR'S CHANCE at the Berkshire course. Heather Main's gelding can also confirm recent form with Elsie Bay from what looks a good draw over this trip. All Or Nothin and Frozen Over are probably in the handicapper's grip at present but Mahadee should be challenging for a place.
