Fortune has deserted Theo's Charm over fences but he’s still looking a few pounds too high over hurdles. It’s more than 12 months since FOURTH ACT was last seen over the smaller obstacles but he’s dropped 10lb in the interim and hasn’t been disgraced in decent company over fences the last twice. I See You Well is still 7lb higher than when last successful and the jury is out on Chris Pea Green, who hasn’t had much racing the last two years. Roll Of The Dice is even harder to recommend.
