    Verdict

    Bumper winner MONSIEUR ARKADIN posted his best effort so far over hurdles when runner-up at Stratford last month. Well clear of his only rival on these terms, Tim Vaughan’s charge should have no trouble seeing off any challenge from Oriental Fixer, whose best effort so far was a well beaten fourth at Ludlow in November.
