John Cullen primed to deliver on Katnap

John Cullen both trains and rides Katnap who should prove hard to beat at Down Royal this afternoon.

The Grade One winning jockey trained his first winner in Ireland just a couple of weeks ago with the 33-1 shot Misty Lady but there will be no such fancy odds about Katnap in today's Beginners Chase.

The ex-French runner finished runner-up to the very decent Mount Colah at Thurles on his last start.

Of Enda Bolger’s last three runners, two have won and Drawn N Drank could continue the run in the opening handicap chase.

This one was runner up to Leish Oscar at the track over Christmas but relishes a test of stamina and looked to be going well on his previous start at Punchestown when unseating his rider at the fifth last. Quickasyoucan may surprise the 122-rated Leavethelighton for a local win in the maiden hurdle.
