Massayan is sure to be a warm order when he bids for a hat-trick on his seasonal debut in the Follow TipperaryRaces On Twitter Rated Race, the most valuable contest on an eight-race card.

Dermot Weld's four-year-old improved from his belated debut last summer to sign off with a double in September and faces just four rivals on his return with further progress on the cards under Pat Smullen.

Jim Bolger's Cirin Toine filled the runner-up berth at Down Royal at the weekend and looks the biggest threat along with Gowran maiden winner Onlyhuman.

Weld and Smullen also join forces in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden with interesting newcomer Brevard.

There is also a good pot up for grabs in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap, in which Edward Lynam is double-handed courtesy of Evie Be Kool and The Tulip.

The latter looks by far his main hope with Smullen booked after a fine effort in second at Leopardstown last time out, while Lynam also fires two arrows at the Tipperary Racecourse Maiden, which gets the action underway at 5.05.

Smullen choses Pious Alexander over Rosa Klebb and the former is set to go off at short odds dropping in class after contesting a Listed race at Cork recently.

Avalanche carries a penalty and top weight when going for the hat-trick in the Racing Again At TipperaryRaces July 6th Handicap, while the Buy Tickets Online At TipperaryRaces.ie Handicap sees So Sensible attempt to gain compensation for an unlucky half-length defeat at the Curragh last month.

Two divisions of the TipperaryRaces.ie Handicap close the card, with Trump Card aiming to follow up his Leopardstown success in the first instalment and Bobabout, who was runner-up at that venue last week, a leading contender under top weight in the concluding race.
