      Verdict

      Cold Fusion and Yamuna River came home second and third at Stratford last month in selling grade but now step back into open handicap company. Musical Stardust didn't run badly when second at Huntingdon but remains winless over timber and Shadow's Girl has been well below par the last twice and is best watched until signalling a return to form. Cassis De Reine doesn't look especially well treated so this may prove an opportunity for TOP ROCK TALULA. Lightly-raced over hurdles, she's been performing consistently well on the Flat this year, scoring twice and unlucky not to have notched another victory or two. Let's hope she transfers that ability to hurdles.
