      Verdict

      None of these inspire confidence with only a speculative vote going to ROYAL ACT on his second off today’s mark at Warwick in December. Show's Over has failed to complete since placed at Ludlow but stablemate It's All An Act put in a better round over hurdles here last time and returns to the larger obstacles off a 5lb higher mark. Helium has won over these fences in the distant past and is fit from racing on the all-weather Flat.
