Verdict

Plenty to consider but PERRY MASON took his form to another level when winning over C&D last week and shades the vote over Gleneagle Bay, who starts the new season off a handy mark. The progressive Iron Fist also makes the shortlist.

  1. PERRY MASON
  2. GLENEAGLE BAY (IRE)
  3. IRON FIST (IRE)
