FormscanBy Mark Nunan - TIMELESS PIECE handled heavy ground well when winning at Killarney last month with Rioja Alta back in third. The selection, who was a course winner earlier in the season, has been given a 5lb hike for that latest success but as a lightly-raced three-year-old could have more to offer. Rioja Alta was making his handicap debut at Killarney and is entitled to be better for the experience. No Hassle failed in her hat-trick bid when fourth at Down Royal but it was still a creditable run as was shown by the handicapper tacking on another 3lb to her mark. Her wins came on good ground but she has decent form on a soft surface. John O'Donoghue's horses are finishing the turf season in good form and Nomenclature, beaten little more than a length when fourth in a Listowel maiden, merits respect on handicap debut.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (80 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
