Verdict
Reverend Hubert has run very well in both starts since leaving Richard Hannon but a penalty for his victories on the Flat sees him conceding weight to the progressive MARV MICHAEL and that may prove beyond him. Henry De Bromhead's charge was headed on the line over slightly shorter at Down Royal and Rachael takes over here. Ringdufferin made most until headed two out over 2m4f at Down Royal and may be ridden with more restraint but stablemate Farewellchancer hasn't shown much to date.
