Race preview
NAXOS is having his first run of the season having been gelded since finishing runner-up at Kempton in November. He was a comprehensive winner over 7f here on debut the previous month and this looks a good opportunity to get back to winning ways. Andrew Balding has his string in fine order at present and although Mlle Chanel was a shade disappointing on her final run last term, that was in Listed company and this looks much more winnable. Fade To Gray appears the best of the rest having won over a furlong shorter here in February and he may continue to progress.
