JOHNNY BLUE made a promising start over hurdles when giving best only late on to a useful rival at Hereford in November, so he can build on that effort to go one better. He is taken to see off the challenge of Bowenspark, who can make his presence felt back down in grade, while Rue St Denis could take a step forward on his hurdles bow.
