Captain Cullen looks poised to shrug off top weight

On a difficult-looking card for punters at Dundalk this evening, Captain Cullen can carry top weight to victory in the seven-furlong handicap. 

Last week, the seven-year-old was noted staying on quite nicely into seventh place behind Russian Soul, despite not enjoying the clearest of runs in the homestraight.

As that was his first run since November he is likely to be better for it. The step up to seven furlongs should suit and, with the cobwebs blown away, the experienced campaigner can be expected to travel strongly and go very close in a competitive race.
