The betting suggested Mataajir would return to winning ways here last time and he duly obliged with an easy victory over track and trip. Upped 8lb for that success, he makes more appeal than recent course winner Putin, but may find FAIRY WING too good. The latter scored over 6f here before following up with a victory over the minimum trip. He won over a mile when trained in Ireland and the hat-trick beckons for Violet Jordan's charge despite a penalty. Seamstress should be thereabouts again without being quite good enough but Mucky Molly and Olynard have a bit to find with the principal contenders on recent running.
