Forecast

Bluebeard's Castle (15/8), Smile At Me (4/1), Swift Verdict (4/1), Tooreen Angel (7/1), Dream Tale (10/1), Lady Ironside (12/1), Seamus Darby (16/1), S'all Good Man (18/1), Swift Wing (20/1), Clondaw Hollow (20/1), Belper Rose (25/1), Elusive Gigolo (50/1), Calexico (50/1), Scarlet Revera (125/1), Mente Hermosa (125/1), Old Town Road (150/1), Lady Of Magic Hill (200/1)

Verdict

SMILE AT ME wasn't seen to best effect when a well-held fourth at the Curragh last time, her prominent position in the betting suggesting that improvement was expected, and she's perhaps worth another chance with cheekpieces added. Her stablemate Bluebeard's Castle, recent course third Tooreen Angel and the Willie Mullins-trained Swift Verdict head the dangers.
