Bet of the day: Gabrial The Tiger to tame Chester rivals for Fahey

Jamie Clark, Sports Editor | July 31, 2016

Coral’s bet of the day

• Fahey gelding Tiger a back-to-back course and distance winner this term
• Gabrial going for four-timer in hands of jockey McNamara
• Race rival Ice Slice has never run at Chester before

Gabrial has eye of the Tiger

Gabrial The Tiger has put together some fantastic form for trainer Richard Fahey and jockey Adam McNamara this summer, so holds every chance of continuing his purple patch this Sunday in the Little Legs Mile Handicap (actually raced over 7f 122yds) at Chester (15:50).

This four-year-old bay gelding is a consecutive course and distance winner in the last six weeks, relishing the good ground on offer at the Cheshire venue.

Successive victories have come by increasing margins, first by one-and-a-half lengths and then three, with Gabrial The Tiger looking to complete a four-timer here with McNamara in the saddle.

A front-runner well worth backing

In those wins and his success at Musselburgh beforehand, Gabrial The Tiger has made all while dictating the pace in similar handicap races, so this Class 3 field should not be a problem.
