Verdict

SMILING ELIZA has done nothing wrong in her two starts over timber and that experience plus her allowance can enable her to see off stable companion Viscount Wilson, who was behind her on the Flat at Navan in June. Lever Du Soleil scored over 1m6f at Redcar in May when trained by Tim Easterby and he looks a staying hurdler for the future as does Far Reach while the latter's former stable companion Irish Minister is another to keep an eye on.
