Out of action since breaking a collarbone in Limerick on July 12, Billy Lee made the perfect return when delivering a double for Paddy Twomey in Galway, highlighted by the smooth success of La Isla Mujeres in the listed Ardilaun Hotel Irish EBF Oyster Stakes.

Completing back-to-back wins in the race for trainer and jockey, the Moyglare-owned mare set sail for home running into the dip and was never threatened, staying on strongly to beat Bonnie Moon by three and a half lengths.
