In depth

Verdict

All four of Denis Hogan's quartet have decent claims. Royal Tribute is the most consistent and Declan McDonogh is booked but the drop in trip is a possible question mark. LION RING is given the nod under the 7lb apprentice for whom he's gone well the last twice. This trip should suit so he is a hopeful choice to break his maiden at the 19th attempt. Shabaaby is arguably better over the minimum trip but Ever Rock and Inishmot Prince are consistent types while veteran Ducky Mallon has an each-way shout after a fair effort when returning from a break latest.
