Charles Byrnes has two runners at Hereford this afternoon with both Reverend Hubert and Redwood Queen both well fancied for the Limerick trainer.
Reverend Hubert is currently odds-on against eight rivals in the opening Get Emma’s Offers At planetsportbet.com Novices’ Hurdle at 12.20.
The Zoffany gelding won three times on the Flat for Richard Hannon before joining Byrnes last year and was well-backed when taking a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick this August.
Redwood Queen could also go off favourite for the 2.35 race, the Bet 10 Get 10 At PlanetSportBet Mares’ Handicap Hurdle.
The six-year-old daughter of Mahler won at Carlisle last year for Noel Kelly and added to her tally for Byrnes again in a handicap hurdle at Sligo this summer.
