Eastwatch has a clear edge in a 22-runner Curragh contest over a mile on soft ground, with our rating of 113 putting him seven pounds clear of his nearest pursuer, which is a real margin in a field this big. That superiority gives him a strong platform to cope with the inevitable scrimmaging and the testing conditions. Ribee is the main danger on 106, with Cristal Clere on 104 and Diego El Queso on 103 also needing to be respected, but none of them quite matches our selection on merit. Eastwatch is the confident choice.
