FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Runner-up in the Irish Lincoln on his reappearance, EASTWATCH can go one place better. Twice a winner last season, the lightly raced son of Make Believe showed a definite preference for an ease in the ground. Sure to have come on from that recent outing, the Andrew Slattery-trained four-year-old will also appreciate stepping back up in trip. With his stable amongst the winners in recent days, he has plenty to recommend him here. Although it took him until the end of the season to open his account last term, Mocking often gave the impression of being well handicapped. The Johnny Murtagh-trained gelding can progress further this year. Fiver Friday is also worth of consideration in a competitive heat.
