Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Get Up Everybody
Get Up Everybody heads this eleven-runner Class 6 contest at Doncaster on good-to-firm ground, sitting narrowly ahead of Arnaz on our ratings with Sparkling Pink and Hares Bredth representing the chief dangers further down the order. The confidence here is modest, and Arnaz in particular could prove a tough nut to crack over this seven furlongs if reproducing his best. **Get Up Everybody** is our selection.
