SIERRA BLANCA earned a rating of 101 after finishing second to stable companion Cairo in a Leopardstown Group 3 and that should be good enough for this. Stable companion Water Nymph stayed on nicely at Gowran and looks one for middle-distances next season as does Sprewell, who came from a long way back on that same card. Space Age was a 150/1 chance when staying on over 7f at Leopardstown and won't be anything like those odds here while Walsingham also came with a strong late burst over this trip at Leopardstown. Jupiter Rock is one to note for the future.
