Three Wolverhampton wins for the Johnstons in 2022; slow start for new yard but has fared much better in this headgear combination the last twice, finishing close second at Wolverhampton and then third over C&D (Class 4) four weeks ago; can go well off this mark but may find some competition for the lead.
