From the connections
“We had planned to ride Reverend Hubert handy but he missed the break. Harry [Davies, jockey] didn't panic and gave him a lovely ride. Hopefully, he can come back here in three weeks' time as his penalty should allow him to get into it. He ran eighth in the Cesarewitch last year, but the ground was a bit soft for him then as he likes good ground - Cathal Byrnes, trainer's son.”
“Reverend Hubert had the Flat speed after it turned into a bit of a sprint. Overall he is a very good jumper despite a couple of mistakes today - Charles Byrnes, trainer.”
“Reverend Hubert had schooled very well, and the distance and the ground were a big thing for him. He is a fine horse and will keep going for the summer. We'll look to Galway - Charles Byrnes, trainer.”
“Reverend Hubert loves jumping, it is the secret to him. The hurdles set him alight and he loves good ground. He will stay three miles and he could go back to the Flat next year - Charles Byrnes, trainer.”
