Perry Mason
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.

British raider who arrives well on the up, finally getting off the mark at Windsor (1m) in May before following up in 22-runner handicap at York (7f) just 8 days later. Beaten just a neck at Epsom earlier this month and has to be taken seriously despite a further 5 lb hike in the weights.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosEpsom Downs7f 3yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat2/16York7fGoodFlat1/22Windsor1m 31yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/11Wetherby1mGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat4/12Doncaster7f 6yGood to SoftFlat12/15- 12(3)Pretty Omagh GirlJ: Ben Martin CoenT: Andrew Oliver, Ireland424-1Age 45/15/111/2

Made the frame in 3 maidens last year and proved a different proposition when winning 19-runner event on handicap debut over C&D (good to firm, 11/1) in May, making all. Up 10 lb but has few miles on the clock and may yet have more to offer.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCurragh1mGoodFlat1/19Dundalk1mStandardFlat4/13Dundalk1mStandardFlat2/13Curragh1mGood (Good to Yielding in places)Flat4/14- 4(2)State ActorJ: C.

Dual winner over C&D. Run best excused when tenth of 23 in handicap (4/1) over C&D (heavy) when last seen in November, found to have bled.

Signed off 2025 with a pair of 1m Dundalk victories and has returned in even better form this year, finishing an excellent second in the Spring Mile at Doncaster in March and Naas in May.

Goes well here, winning in March over C&D and then landing a 20-runner handicap (1¼m, good to firm) in May. Was unsuited by the step up to 1¾m last time, though shaped as if still in form for a long way. The return to this trip will suit and he's high on the shortlist.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCurragh1m 6fYieldingFlat5/12Curragh1m 2fGood (Good to Yielding in places)Flat1/20Cork1m 4f 30ySoft to HeavyFlat3/15Curragh1mSoft to HeavyFlat4/21Curragh1mSoft to HeavyFlat1/14- 9(11)BooyeaJ: William James LeeT: T.

It's been a while since his last success (the 2023 Irish Cambridgeshire over C&D) but he's on a good mark and latest third of 7 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, soft) 17 days ago proved he's still in form. Has the blinkers back on instead of the visor and has to be considered.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLeopardstown1m 1fSoft (Soft to Heavy in places)Flat3/7Cork1m 2f 100yGood to Yielding (Yielding in places)Flat3/16Leopardstown1m 2fYielding to SoftFlat6/12Curragh1m 2fSoft to HeavyFlat16/18Curragh1mHeavyFlat14/23- 10(9)Playin CoolJ: R.

Opened his account on final start last season at Leopardstown (9f). Got back on track with his sights lowered a touch when second of 10 in handicap there (7f, soft, 10/3) 24 days ago.

Proved a different proposition on first outing since leaving Emmet Mullins after 16 months off when bolting up in 23-runner 7f handicap at this course in March. Was an unlucky loser next time before making the frame at Naas in May. Tongue strap refitted but has a bit on from just out of the weights.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNaas1mGoodFlat4/13Curragh7fSoftFlat2/17Curragh7fSoft to HeavyFlat1/23Dundalk7fStandardFlat6/13Fairyhouse6fGoodFlat6/7- 1(4)Lord MassususJ: P.

Has scored twice at this course, including a listed race in 2024. Hasn't won in twelve starts but has generally been racing in a higher grade, whilst operating a shade below best this season.

Got off the mark on second of 3 starts last season. Left D. K. Weld and shaped as if better for run when sixth of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Limerick (1m, good to soft) 18 days ago on return.
