      Verdict

      Will Carver has not been easy to train but has won two of his five starts over timber. Fourth in the Cesarewitch last month but pulled up back over hurdles at Cheltenham, Bashful Boy could figure if on a going day while Forever William won in this grade at Plumpton and has only been raised 3lb. DECORATED’s run at Wetherby is cause for concern but that was his first since wind surgery. He won well here in the spring and may be worth another chance. Afadil was also pulled up last time and hasn’t really struck form so far this campaign.
