Doncaster Tips: Afandem

Afandem might appear outclassed on his UK form but Hugo Palmer’s juvenile has been mopping up valuable races in France this summer.

A winner at Vichy and Chantilly, he’s proven to be a smart sprinter and even his defeat at York reads well. Andrea Atzeni left himself too much to do when trying to reel in long time leader Big Time Baby. Despite running the fastest closing sectional by 0.34s, he failed by a head but on another day would have won.

If you look at Afandem’s record solely at 5f it reads 1121, including a course and distance victory in soft ground at the start of the season. With a track to suit and his French form underrated we have a good bet.
