29th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 49y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Eighth foal; half-brother to French winners Age D'Or (1m4f and 14.7f AQPS Flat/2m1f-2m4f chase) and La Baghera (2m4f-2m7f cross-country chase); placed at Auteuil (2m1f, heavy) last spring in his two hurdle races, before fetching 140,000 euros last May; hooded and tongue tied for all three French runs but not today; makes British debut in what looks a weak race, so has good chance. |

Minor promise in bumpers; others may know too much for him now hurdling but is bred to improve now he goes jumping so is worth watching for the future, perhaps when handicapping. |

11st 2lb |
Midfield in C&D maiden hurdle on soft ground just before Christmas, improving on his debut effort; represents major yard and could take another step forward; not without a chance. |

22nd Dec 2022 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Out of a useful jumper from the family of high-class chaser Cooldine; showed only minor promise when fifth of seven on last month's debut at Exeter (2m, good) and needs to take a big step forward. |

25th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Point winner who was a promising third on his bumper debut in March 2021, and he was then absent until Hereford (2m, soft) last month where he was a 22l fifth of 14 on hurdle debut; improvement required but he may have needed that latest outing and is not ruled out. |

Raced only on good/firmer; showed some ability in two British points; achieved little in C&D novice hurdle on debut for David Pipe but, judged on breeding, ought to do better. |

Beaten out of sight in two runs last winter (finished lame latest); best watched unless the market suggests improvement is expected. |

Beaten the thick end of 25l in a bumper and Ffos Las novice hurdle (soft for both); would be a surprise winner. |

Verdict
Market confidence would be welcomed after so long out but JOHNNYWHO is potentially very smart. He had none other than the recent Challow winner Hermes Allen some 19l behind when he won his Irish point and he needs to be winning this to justify his Ballymore entry at Cheltenham. In D’Or ran to a fair level in France and is his most likely danger unless Ranging Bear is good or Starevitch can step up on his Hereford form.[Alistair Jones]
