FormscanBy Mark Nunan - It is difficult to oppose SIERRA BLANCA after his good effort in the Group 3 Killavullan Stakes at Leopardstown last month. An eyecatcher at the Curragh when second in a maiden on his previous start, the No Nay Never colt was again nearest at the finish when chasing home stablemate Cairo and his new mark of 101 sets a high standard. His dam was a dual Oaks winner and he should be suited by this step up to a mile. Walsingham was well behind the selection on debut but left that run behind when a close third to two other Ballydoyle inmates at Leopardstown. He holds Classic entries and should continue to progress. Space Age belied massive odds when a pleasing third on debut and merits respect along with Irish Derby entrant Sprewell who made late headway when fourth over this trip at Gowran.
