JOHNSON HAS FIRST IRISH RUNNERS

County Durham trainer Paul Johnson will have his first runners in Ireland next week when he brings over Hoh´s Back and Hormuz for the Galway Festival.

Johnson, who was impressed by the Ballybrit Festival when on holiday last year, plans to run Hoh´s Back in the 0-70 handicap on Wednesday, and Hormuz in a seven furlongs handicap on Sunday.

John Murtagh has been approached to ride Hoh´s Back, who has won his last two starts.
