Latest win at Bellewstown in June. 12/1, better than result when eighth of 9 in handicap at Cork (5f, good to soft) 22 days ago, not clear run. Should be back on his game.

Royal Tribute⁹

Weight: 9-11| Age: 4

T: D Hogan J: Declan McDonogh

Forecasts

Royal Tribute (7/2), Inishmot Prince (4/1), Plezantlysurprised (6/1), Shabaaby (6/1), Lion Ring (17/2), Ducky Mallon (9/1), Ever Rock (9/1), Eglish (10/1), Tammany Hall (12/1), Rocky Dreams (12/1), Cometh The Man (18/1), Sir Dotti (18/1), Smart Remark (20/1), Stanhope (22/1), Talking Tough (22/1), Brokers Tip (28/1), Alphonse Karr (33/1), Brave Display (40/1), Peerless (40/1), Surviving Murmansk (100/1)

LION RING is well treated on old form and has been showing better signs, so he's preferred to Royal Tribute in a competitive affair. Veteran Ducky Mallon is another one to consider having run well after a long absence at Sligo 10 days and Ever Rock also arrives in good order.
