Emorcee ran in snatches at Killarney last month and has been a bit frustrating to follow but a visor replaces the usual blinkers and David Marnane’s gelding has place claims. TIMELESS PIECE was far from disgraced over a longer trip at Leopardstown following her win at Gowran and may be the one to be on after a short break even though Hasten Slowly got back to winning ways at Naas and Jamie Powell can utilise his claim in this. Malbay Madness was only beaten a short-head off this mark over course and distance on Wednesday and Quantum Light was second over 7f here on Monday having a first run for Andrew Slattery. Partisan Hero finished ahead of Navy Beach and Rough And Tough when third here on Friday.
