In depth
Verdict
NAXOS has raced twice on the Tapeta and won on both occasions. Last month’s second over a mile at Newmarket points to a big run here given today’s extra distance is expected to bring further improvement. Redcar winner Painters Palette could only manage fourth last time while Graignes failed to land a hat-trick despite escaping a penalty at Goodwood and is 9lb higher for this. Arcadian Nights won over track and trip back in April and Have Secret drops down in class.
