Verdict
Golden Roc, already successful between the flags, looks a chasing type and so does WILL CARVER but Nicky Henderson won with a similar sort here on Tuesday and the lack of a recent outing is not off-putting. Gala De Corton, a half-brother to Black Corton, was keeping on when third at Ludlow in November and will have learned from the experience. Earth Company is another likely improver.
