Absolute Blast was sent to Germany for a Group 3 earlier this month but wasn't good enough while compatriot Wilamina takes a step-up in grade after landing a Nottingham Listed contest in May. TURRET ROCKS, who won at this level as a two-year-old, just had the edge over Laganore over a slightly longer trip here in May and looks to have been found a good opportunity to return to winning ways. Aidan O'Brien runs a pair of three-year-olds and though neither can be dismissed with their age allowances both will need to do better than they have shown so far. Sea Swift hasn't been getting home over further but would have a chance on her close second behind Somehow over this sort of trip at Gowran.
