Butterfly favourite for Leopardstown

Paddy Power make Like-A-Butterfly their new market leader for the AIG Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown on Sunday after the defection of Intersky Falcon, who was declared a non-runner by trainer Jonjo O’Neill on Thursday.

The Dublin firm go 7-4 about Christy Roche’s charge, although their Cork rivals Cashmans have priced up J P McManus’ mare the 2-1 joint favourite with Limestone Lad.
