Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Red Happy
Red Happy is the pick for this Class 4 contest at Cartmel over an extended trip on good ground, sitting top of our figures ahead of this six-runner field. Lermoos Legend, Got Grey and Moodofthemoment are the chief dangers, all rated within a handful of pounds of the selection. Our confidence in Red Happy is high, with his rating edge at the top of a competitive field the clearest guide. Red Happy is the selection, with the three dangers his most likely conquerors if he fails to deliver.
