Have flutter on Butterfly

LIKE-A-BUTTERFLY, the only mare in the race, gets the vote to beat sixteen male rivals in a wide open Smurfit Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham this afternoon.

The ground is obviously a big factor with the daughter of Montelimar and certainly the assumption has to be it won’t ride anywhere near as soft as she would like.

The probability, however, is that the surface will tend towards the soft side of good and, at worst, Like-A-Butterfly looks set to run a big race.
