Royal Tribute got off the mark at the 17th attempt at Leopardstown but was engaged in the 5.45 here yesterday. INISHMOT PRINCE (NAP) was beaten almost two lengths in that Leopardstown event but was staying on strongly over the 7f and can reverse the form over this longer trip. It's over a year since Mary Salome won and though running well she's been beaten off lower marks recently. Jaafel is still a maiden but has rarely been beaten far and Colin Keane, who rode him last time, is on board again. The lightly-raced Zerinda was staying on over 7f at Listowel and is another to consider. Geological was engaged in the 5.45 here yesterday.
