RACE STATS

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): G Tuer (33 wins from 263 runners, 13%) runs FADE TO GRAY TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): A Balding (10 wins from 39 runners, 26%) runs MLLE CHANEL LONGEST TRAVELLER: MLLE CHANEL trained by A Balding, Kingsclere, 303 miles.

NAXOS was turned over by a RogerVarian newcomer when odds-on for a Kempton novice in November but the muddling nature of that race didn’t play to his strengths and, in any case, the winner (successful again next time) could be useful. Gelded since and now equipped with a hood, he is taken to resume winning ways Mlle Chanel earns marginal preference ahead of Fade To Gray for forecast purposes
