Progressive Cullen set to strike again

WILLIE MULLINS has prospects of a first and last race double at Tipperary tonight, should the meeting get the green light following an 8am inspection.

Mullins' Josephine Cullen is strongly fancied to land the July Summer Festival at Tipperary Hurdle. This is a mare who is rapidly on the upgrade, producing a career-best effort at the Punchestown Festival.

Positively ridden by Ruby Walsh, she bolted in by eight lengths from Very Green and English challenger, Jack The Giant.
