Verdict

Cases can be made for several, but MONEY HEIST shaped as if retaining all his ability after 13 months off when fourth over hurdles at Cork last month, and with that outing sure to have blow away any cobwebs, Gavin Cromwell's 6-y-o gets the nod to open his account in this sphere fitted with first-time headgear. Kilashee, Mahlers Cove and Knocknagappagh are just a handul of possible dangers.
