Finished third in a Fontwell bumper in April 2021 but now established as an ordinary Flat performer who has won twice over 1m on the AW; readily opposed. |

Twice runner-up (1m4f and 1m5f) off basement Flat marks last summer for Micky Hammond; 100-1, beaten 53l in novice hurdle at Exeter (2m, heavy) on debut for new connections and best watched despite now having tongue tied. |

31st Jan 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Failed to progress from promising bumper debut at Exeter but he was far from disgraced when fourth on his hurdle debut at Hereford in November (2m, good to soft) and can be expected to show benefit for the experience. |

15th Nov 2022 Good To Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |

Placed in two of his three bumpers, best effort when third at Exeter on debut last December (2m, good to soft); didn't progress and a bit to prove now going jumping for the first time. |

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. |

Fair performer (peak RPR 79) on Flat, not disgraced over 1m6f when last seen in September (second start for new stable); could go well on hurdles debut, provided he jumps soundly. |

From very good jumping family; no great shakes in his two bumpers last month, notwithstanding some improvement when fifth of ten at Chepstow. |

From a very good jumping family but was about 11l behind He's My Shadow when seventh of ten on recent debut at Exeter (good to soft) and clearly needs to do much better here. |

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. |

26th Dec 2022 Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
9th foal; closely related to four winners including King's Odyssey (useful 2m4f-3m hurdle/chase), Sandymount Rose (useful 2m4f-3m hurdle/chase) and Irish Odyssey (bumper); dam 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase winner; stable has occasional success in these races. |

Verdict
The King Of Ryhope is greatly feared but JOHNNYWHO could be a top prospect. He had none other than the Challow winner Hermes Allen trailing in his wake when winning his Irish point, and he really needs to be winning this as well to justify his Grade 1 entry at Cheltenham. Hunter Legend is the other one to bear in mind.[Alistair Jones]
