Formscan - William Haggas has trained three of the last five winners of this race and THE REVEREND arrives with strong claims of adding to that tally. The latter won by three lengths over 1m4f at Ascot on his handicap debut, despite being eased down in the closing stages, and can defy a 9lb hike with the possibility of plenty more to come over this extra distance. Minstrel Knight won easily over today's trip on testing going at Haydock a fortnight ago and is preferred to Master Builder, who scored on faster ground at the same venue, while Who's Glen romped home at Chester last time but will find this a more difficult test.
