Verdict

SMILING BESS shaped well when runner-up on her recent hurdling bow at Navan and looks the way to go here with improvement very much on the cards. Cast A Spell and Jokers 'N' Clowns both have the form to have a say and can chase home Kevin Prendergast's daughter of Mount Nelson in that order.
