Verdict
All of these are making their debuts under Rules but GOOD AND HARDY has been showing progressive form between the flags, winning a maiden at Templenacarriga in December and changing hands for £35,000 later. He can make the most of his experience to hold off the Gold Well gelding Golden Sovereign, who is a half-brother to two winning jumpers. Garrettstown is Flat-bred so may have more speed than most, though that might be countered by the going.
