Elusive Butterfly can float to win in Carlisle

ELLUSIVE Butterfly can make it successive Listed triumphs when taking the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Eternal Stakes at Carlisle on Wednesday.

- 

Karl Burke's Invincible Army filly was last seen coming out on top by three-quarters of a length in the Surrey Stakes at Epsom earlier this month, which was coincidentally her first win on turf.

The stiff finish on the Surrey Downs did not seem to affect Ellusive Butterfly despite a strong challenge from Greek Mythology and the Cumbrian track has similar characteristics which should suit.

She will have a 3lb penalty for that victory, but she has been improving all season and should make another bold showing.

A drop in trip could be the tonic for Altareq to shed his maiden tag in the Stablemate By Agma Carlisle Bell Handicap for Jim Goldie.
