Johnson may go to Post on Gunther McBride

THE drying conditions at Kempton will be good news for the connections of Gunther McBride for Saturday's Racing Post Chase .

And they received a further boost when Richard Johnson hinted he could partner the Philip Hobbs-trained eight-year-old, on whom he won the £100,000 handicap last year, in the race.

The jockey has the choice of current market leaders La Landiere and Gunther McBride.
