Culloty looking forward to Best Mate reunion

JIM CULLOTY returns from a seven-week lay-off through injury with a ride at Exeter today.

The Irish jockey had to have a bone in his thumb pinned after breaking it in a fall at the West Country track last month.

Culloty will make his return on the Henrietta Knight-trained King Killone in the opening Toby Balding Novices’ Hurdle.
