In-form Almnadia can score for Butler

Gerard Butler’s Almnadia came good last Monday when the three-year-old filly came fast and late to deny Mountsorrel by a neck in a selling handicap - and she can repeat the trick at Musselburgh tomorrow.

Connections had to go to 9,400 guineas to keep the daughter of Alhaarth after she scored at Pontefract, having also forked out 4,800 guineas after she had won a similar event at Lingfield last month.
