A bunch of bare asses shocked judge again (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reassess

'judge again' is the definition.
('assess' is an answer for 'judge' so perhaps 'reassess' is OK for 'judge again')

'a bunch of bare asses shocked' is the wordplay.
'a bunch of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (a bunch of letters in the clue).
'REASSESS' is hidden within 'bare asses shocked'.

(Other definitions for reassess that I've seen before include "Make a further judgement" , "think again" , "Newly evaluate" , "Examine again" , "Estimate again, take another measure of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
