Verdict
French import Hayedo was very disappointing on his hurdles bow at Fontwell. Buxted Too won on the all-weather in April and stayed 1m4f on the Flat but this can go to one of the two previous hurdle winners. Romeo's Bond probably didn’t beat much at Exeter and a line through the third suggests he’ll struggle to keep tabs on easy Ffos Las winner FOREVER BLESSED off level weights.
