EASTWATCH gets the vote to build on his fine second in the Irish Lincolnshire here last month. Starford progressed well last year and appeals as one who can go on to even better things as a 4-y-o so he's second choice ahead of Narlita, who also ran well in the Irish Lincolnshire. Fiver Friday and Chica Guerrera are also interesting at the foot of the weights.

Latest win at Gowran in September. 21¾ lengths seventeenth of 25 to Ribee on 1m course reappearance 19 days ago but her 7/2 SP suggests a lot better was anticipated and Colin Keane retains the ride.
