Well beaten in a couple of maidens here last month, Mataajir recently scored on his handicap debut at Southwell. He still has something to prove on this surface, however, and LOOK FOR LOVE is preferred. A repeat of his second to Eastward Ho at this track earlier this month should see him land that elusive first victory. Jackie Love won a similar low grade handicap at Kempton last time, but is not certain to confirm running with the placed horses Lennoxwood and Blueberry Fizz on today's worse terms.
