Summer Affair

This is a very well handicapped and unexposed horse and he runs in the 7.20Wolves tonight. He got his first racecourse experience in 2 soft ground bumpers and followed this with 3 polytrack maiden runs where he was unfavoured by the weights but got more experience whilst getting himself nicely handicapped in the process. He made his handicap debut over 12f at Wolves where he travelled strongly until his jockey fell asleep just as the race was unfolding 4 furlongs out, he ran on to claim 4th. Since then he has had a pop over hurdles but then tried fibresand back on the flat where he was down on his nose following a faller directly infront of him in the early stages. That run can be safely ignored. Back on polytrack and over 14furlongs tonight, he runs off a mark of just 57 further reduced by his decent apprentice jockey's 5lb claim. The opposition is far from strong, half the field can be safely crossed out, so he appeals as a nice e/w bet at a general 25-1.
