The supergravity dual of $N$ regular and $M$ fractional D3-branes on theconifold has a naked singularity in the infrared. Supersymmetric resolution ofthis singularity requires deforming the conifold: this is the supergravity dualof chiral symmetry breaking. Buchel suggested that at sufficiently hightemperature there is no need to deform the conifold: the singularity may becloaked by a horizon. This would be the supergravity manifestation of chiralsymmetry restoration. In previous work [hep-th/0102105] the ansatz and thesystem of second-order radial differential equations necessary to find such asolution were written down. In this paper we find smooth solutions to thissystem in a perturbation theory that is valid when the Hawking temperature ofthe horizon is very high.Comment: 22 page
