2.30 Southwell – Mataajir 2 pt win 11/4

A weak handicap, which won’t take much winning and if Mataajir returns from his 6 week break in top form, he well take all the beating.

He has already won 3 times this winter, but shaped at Wolverhampton last time that this mark isn’t beyond him, when looking as though a step back up to 8 furlongs could see him return to the winners enclosure.  Providing he breaks well, I expect him to sit handy and prove too good for todays opposition.

Caledonia Prince has been in decent form too this winter but last time I felt that the handicapper has hold of him for now.   Josh Baudains who gets on well with the horse, and has been claiming 7lbs off him, is replaced by Jo Fanning today, meaning that he has it all to do at the weights.

The biggest danger could be Myraid, who although is still a maiden, shaped as though there is a race in him when finishing 3rd over course and distance last time.  If they ride him a bit more prominently today, then he could well chase Mataajir home.
