El Salvador is one of the star turns on day two of the July Festival at Killarney and Aidan O'Brien's Queen Alexandra Stakes runner-up should be hard to beat in the SeanieMac.com (QR) Race.

Call To Battle is interesting returning from a lengthy absence and Il Fenomeno is a Grade Three winner over hurdles, but they will do well to get to grips with the son of Galileo, who was last seen beating Fred Winter third Orgilgo Bay in a similar contest at Bellewstown and the form of his Royal Ascot second to Pique Sous stacks up.

The Bourn Vincent Memorial Handicap Chase is the most valuable race on the card and Ted Veale has his sights lowered in a bid to regain the winning thread.

Tony Martin's representative has been contesting hot Grade One races and is expected to show his class now pitched into handicap company and sporting a first-time hood.

The Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden gets the action under way at 6.00 and Elusive Laurence will be out to build on an encouraging debut at Roscommon.

Blackstone and Intense Debate represent two powerhouse yards and Weld Arab, a smartly-bred son of Shamardal, is expected to show a good level of improvement.

His stable companion Stay De Night looks to be Dermot Weld's best chance of a winner in the Dermot O'Leary Memorial Rated Race, as he created a deep impression when justifying cramped odds on his Limerick debut.

Rayna really has the bit between her teeth at the moment and could still be ahead of the assessor when she bids to complete her hat-trick in the Ross Golf Course Handicap.

Davy Russell might be the jockey to follow in the final two NH races as Tylers Cottage is potentially well treated in the MC Group Handicap Chase, and Royal Ascot winner Domination should take plenty of beating in the Christy McSweeney Memorial Novice Chase.
