No.2 IRISH BUTTERFLY – Alana Kelly (Barrier 8)
IRISH BUTTERFLY (8) heads to Sandown today where he will contest an 2400m BM70 (Race 2, 1:00pm). He has drawn gate eight and Alana Kelly will ride.
IRISH BUTTERFLY has come through his sunday run extremely well, therefore allowing us to step him out again today. Theres a bit of speed in the race from State Squad and Teofilo star who also look to be the main dangers in this contest. There is a query over if he will see out the trip at 2400m but all his work has indicated that the step up won’t hurt. Looks a suitable race again today.(Stable)

Race 7 (3:55 pm) Ladbrokes Same Race Multi Handicap 1800m
No.2 IRISH PLAYBOY – Aaron Lynch (Barrier 12)
IRISH PLAYBOY (12) heads to Sandown today where he will contest an 1800m BM70 (Race 2, 1:00 pm). He has drawn gate twelve and Aaron Lynch will ride.
IRISH PLAYBOY goes into this run at Sandown at his peak distance of 1800m. Most of the challengers will be back in the field throughout the run which will allow Aaron something to follow into the race and use his turn of foot down the long hillside straight. IRISH PLAYBOY has been the victim of some poorly run races which haven’t allowed him to show his full potential but in a race like this we are confident he can show something. (Stable)
