      Verdict

      Fade To Grey made a promising debut over 7f here in February and had no problems landing a maiden on a return visit a few days later. Naxos easily won a 7f novices‘; event here and started a short-priced favourite when stepped up to a mile at Kempton but found Tyndrum Gold too good. The latter easily completed a double so the form looks strong. MLLE CHANEL made a successful debut at Chester in June then found Listed company beyond her at Sandown. Her stable was in brilliant form here last Friday and the lack of a recent run will not be a problem. The remaining pair have plenty to find.
