The Ballarat-based Cully has rides on Sir Lopez in the $125,000 Australian Steeplechase, 3900m, and $50,000 Firefee in the Ladbrokes Odds Boost Hurdle, 3400m, at Sandown Lakeside on Sunday.

That is only part of it though.

A day earlier at Flemington, Cully will have his trainer's hat on when he saddles up Celtic Blast in the LUCRF Super benchmark78, 1100m.

Celtic Blast will be Cully's third starter as a trainer.

The gelding did not get far, losing jockey Justin Huxtable at his first run for Cully at Morphettville last month before breaking through at Sandown on May 8 under John Allen.

"I didn't get too carried away. I was always still on earth, but it was pretty good," Cully said of the win.

"John booked himself the other day which is great as he's riding in great form.

"He's as good as you're going to get I think and hopefully we can combine again."

Cully said Celtic Blast seemed in better order than when he won at Sandown and he was impressed with his gallop at Ballarat on Tuesday.

"He seems to be in as good, if not better order, going into Saturday, so I'm looking forward to it."

Cully is no stranger to big race success over jumps.

His feature wins include two Grand Annual Steeplechases at Warrnambool, two Grand National Steeplechases aboard Wells and the 2014 Australian Steeplechase.
