Verdict

A competitive handicap and preference is for course specialist PERRY MASON who will relish the drop back in trip. Far From Dandy arrives in good heart but may have to settle for second once more, with the unexposed Pretty Omagh Girl another to consider.

  1. PERRY MASON
  2. FAR FROM DANDY (IRE)
  3. PRETTY OMAGH GIRL (IRE)
