Top Rock Talula’s second at Market Rasen is the best piece of hurdles form on offer but she’s probably vulnerable against a few of the newcomers. LISA DE VASSY was placed in a Listed race over 1m2f at Saint Cloud in March having earlier won a couple of stakes races. She’s a half-sister to winning hurdler Or De Vassy and should make a winning start for Paul Nicholls. Dance To Paris and Dream Of Camelot also showed decent form on the Flat and may be the pair to chase her home if taking to hurdles.
