Verdict
Good And Hardy never looked like landing the odds when on a hat-trick at Uttoxeter last time and has gone up 9lb since. Golden Sovereign only won a maiden at Uttoxeter by a head and has been beaten off lower marks in handicaps twice previously. Flowing Cadenza was clearly suited by a step up in trip when landing a gamble at Ascot and should go close again off a 7lb higher mark but preference is for TERRIERMAN, who couldn’t quite confirm Southwell running with Mercian Knight at Doncaster on worse terms but was only beaten half-a-length and is on the upgrade.
