After a pleasing comeback last weekend, The Reverend will attempt to plunder The Friends Of The Curragh Irish Cesarewitch before a decision is taken on whether the dual-purpose performer returns to hurdles this winter.

A four-time winner on the flat for William Haggas, the five-year-old was switched to Willie Mullins for a hurdling campaign in the autumn of 2025 and was on course to run at the Cheltenham Festival before injury intervened just prior to an outing at Prestbury Park in March.
