Johnson to ride Planet Of Sound in Hennessy

PHILIP HOBBS plans to run all of his three possibles in the Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury on Saturday.

The Minehead trainer reports Planet Of Sound, Fair Along and Balthazar King are on course for the prestigious staying handicap chase which he won with What’s Up Boys in 2001.

Hobbs revealed his stable jockey Richard Johnson will get the leg-up on Planet Of Sound, who has not raced since finishing fifth to Long Run in the rescheduled King George VI Chase at Kempton in January.
