Heron Hill made a perfect start to its racing career this week at Fairyhouse, winning on debut on 10 November. The 4-year-old, trained by
Gavin Cromwell at Navan, has yet to face defeat and remains actively campaigned. Cromwell's yard is in excellent form this season, having sent out 96 winners, so the newcomer is in capable hands. With just the one race under its belt, Heron Hill is a horse whose true ability remains to be discovered — but the early signs are promising.
