The Guardian's Lucy Mangan awarded three stars, however, suggesting "the fantastic performances don't do enough to lift this Scouse Sopranos."

The Times' Tom Peck described it as "complete perfection", a view echoed by the Guardian's Lucy Mangan, who said it was "the closest thing to TV perfection in decades".

In the Guardian, Mangan said its technical accomplishments "are matched by an array of award-worthy performances and a script that manages to be intensely naturalistic and hugely evocative at the same time".

Munster forwards Gavin Coombes and John Hodnett and Leinster back row Diarmuid Mangan were also added to interim boss Simon Easterby's panel on Sunday.

The six-year-old, trained by Jimmy Mangan for owner JP McManus, was a dual winner at the top Grade One level last season and was added as a supplementary entry last week along with last year's fourth-placed finisher The Real Whacker and French contender Juntos Ganamos.
