Quick Jack is back on home soil for the feature Guinness Handicap at Listowel on Friday.

Tony Martin sent his Galway Festival runner-up over to Newmarket last month and he saw off his three rivals to earn an 8lb rise.

Martin has also declared Pires although he is scheduled to appear over timber here on Thursday, while Barack and Star Links arrive on the back of recent wins, with further spice added by the dropped-in-class Brog Deas and in-form three-year-old Capitol Hill.

Hidden Cyclone made a pleasing return to action at Galway and is entitled to be sharper for the Southampton Goodwill Chase, in which he tops the weights.

Giving 4lb to Tribes And Banner won't be easy, despite Charlie Swan's charge flopping over timber at Killarney, and Bob Lingo showed more signs of life on his latest appearance so is respected as well.

Shamar finished just in front of Diplomat when they shared minor honours at Galway and he attempts to confirm that superiority in the John Fletcher Memorial Novice Hurdle.

His stablemate Connaught Manor was disappointing on his Cork comeback but should now be match-fit for the John J. Galvin Maiden Hurdle, in which Grand Jesture and Galway Festival winner Merrion Row are expected to prove big stumbling blocks.

Hail Shower hammered her opponents here earlier in the week and attempts to defy a 5lb penalty in the opening South Western Scrap Metal Handicap at 2.25.

Slipper Satin has been given slightly longer to recover from her Killarney success and she takes in the L.M. Carey & Company Handicap, while Khelino tries to build on her recent Dundalk second in the John & Terry Moriarty Memorial Handicap.

Egyptian Warrior made a decent start to his Flat career when runner-up to Grecian Tiger at Gowran Park and he strives to go one better in the Listowel Printing Works Maiden.
