Sprint ace Reverence fit for battle

Eric Alston is not expecting Reverence to lack for fitness when he makes his long-awaited return to the track at Sandown on Saturday.

The dual Group One-winning gelding has not raced since going down by a neck in the Prix de l’Abbaye at Longchamp in October, where he was bidding to add to his wins in the Nunthorpe and Sprint Cup.
