Melanna bids for a hat-trick when lining up in the valuable Guinness Handicap at Listowel on Friday.

Having struck at Galway and the Curragh recently, James Barrett's charge will aim to land the lion's share of the 55,000-euro pot in the feature event on day six of the festival.

Robbie Downey again takes the mount on the Camacho mare, who has to defy a 7lb rise for her convincing success at Ballybrit a week and a half ago.

The Dermot Weld-trained Zafayan heads the weights in the mile-and-a-half contest as he takes a drop back in trip.

The dual-purpose gelding has been performing mainly over a mile and three-quarters and two miles, but his last victory on the level actually came over this trip at Leopardstown early last season.

He has dropped 10lb in the ratings this campaign and warmed up for this with a decent effort when chasing home The Winkler in an amateur contest at Killarney last month.

The Southampton Goodwill Chase looks at the mercy of The Game Changer with Gordon Elliott's charge clear best at the ratings in the two-and-a-half-mile contest.

The seven-year-old Gigginstown gelding has not run since finishing second to stablemate Clarcam at Killarney in May.

He had previously chased home the mighty Douvan at Punchestown and Aintree and this looks a perfect starting point for the season ahead. Kylecrue a winner at the festival on the opening day, may be the one to give The Game Changer most to do given that he has fitness on his side in the testing conditions.
