The Reverend will not be part of Willie Mullins’ formidable squad for the Cheltenham Festival after suffering a setback.
A four-time winner on the Flat for William Haggas, the five-year-old made a successful hurdling debut at Cork early in the new year before unseating Harry Cobden in the Tattersalls Ireland Novice Hurdle at last month’s Dublin Racing Festival.
