Verdict
SEHAYLI travelled strongly and won as he liked in this grade at Hereford. He should have few problems defying a penalty with that evidence given he’s now partnered by one of the leading conditionals. Raving Bonkers won over fences at Ludlow last month racing off this mark but has placed just once over hurdles in 13 attempts. Janus is eased in grade but is also conceding weight all round and Elios D'or remains out of sorts. Majestic Merlin may be best of the rest.
