Another Post will dou nicely for Johnson and Hobbs

RICHARD Johnson and Philip Hobbs have a better record than any in the Racing Post Chase and the pair team up today through the grey Lacdoudal.

Johnson partnered Hobbs’ representative Farmer Jack to success in the Kempton Grade Three in 2005 and Gunther McBride three years earlier, while the Minehead trainer combined with Richard Dunwoody to take the honours in 1999 through Dr Leunt.

Not to be upstaged, Johnson has other Racing Post Chase victories through Young Spartacus (2001) and most memorably with Gloria Victis in 2000.
