FormscanBy Gary Carson - CULLIG got hit with a 13lb hike for her wide-margin success at Cork a fortnight ago but may still be a step ahead of the handicapper. The Walk In The Park mare reportedly ‘wasn’t straightforward at the start’ but really seems to have put things together judged on her 20-length win last time and there may be more to come. Aleish Lass was a touch fortunate when scoring at Limerick three weeks ago but the form got a boost with the runner-up winning at Downpatrick on Sunday and she has to be respected. Mellem was narrowly denied at a massive price last time and is another to consider off just a 2lb higher mark.
