I'm at the sales in Goffs so I might see John Ferguson (Sheikh Mohammed's bloodstock adviser) over here, otherwise the decision will be made at the declaration stage,' said trainer Mark Johnston.'He's absolutely fine, no problem. If he doesn't go for the Criterium we'll be looking at the Dewhurst and the Racing Post Trophy. Everything is still open for him at the moment.'The son of In The Wings put up a classy performance when destroying a field of highly-rated youngsters in the Group Two heat over seven furlongs on Town Moor last month and is as short as 12-1 with totesport for the 2000 Guineas.(C) PA Sport
