Butterfly Blue good for openers

MICHAEL KINANE, who has been booked by Godolphin to partner Grandera in tomorrow’s King George at Ascot and intends returning to ride at Leopardstown in the evening, can enjoy the ideal warm-up by landing a double at Cork tonight.

His mount, Butterfly Blue, eighth of eight at the Curragh last month, gets the nap to take the opening Irish Stallion Farms’ Fillies Maiden.

The Curragh contest was the Group Two Pretty Polly Stakes and this represents a major drop in class for the daughter of Sadler’s Wells.
