Verdict

MEANDRE caused an upset over C&D in the Grand Prix De Paris, ending the unbeaten record of French Derby winner Reliable Man. But there appeared no fluke about the result and Andre Fabre's colt, who is clearly on the upgrade, can follow up in this. Colombian looks held on the form book and King Of Arnor may find this company too hot but Japanese raider Nakayama Knight boasts decent form and can make his presence felt ahead of Vadamar.
