Billy Lee returns to action at Galway on Tuesday after almost two months on the sidelines.

The jockey suffered a broken collarbone in a fall at Limerick on July 12th which subsequently required surgery.

He is currently booked for four mounts at Ballybrit, which include La Isla Mujeres for Paddy Twomey in the featured Ardilaun Hotel Irish EBF Oyster Stakes.
