The Guinness Handicap is the headline act on day five of the Galway festival and the lightly-raced Thread Of Gold can continue a fine week for Willie Mullins by landing the spoils in the hands of Billy Lee.

Victorious on debut over seven furlongs at the Curragh last year, the son of Ghaiyyath found Group 3 company beyond him on his second run, his final start as a two-year-old.
