Timeless Piece looked happy on heavy going when scoring at Killarney where she had a bit in hand. She looks best of Jessica Harrington's pair but RIOJA ALTA, who finished third on what was his handicap debut, was impeded at a crucial stage and can reverse the form. Oriole has run in a couple of strong races since scoring at Naas while Big Island has been in good form over hurdles since a close third over a trip too short at Limerick in April. No Hassle had been in superb form in the summer before an 11lb rise on heavy ground took its toll at Down Royal.
