THE film, The Revenant, – a harrowing but compelling tale of how an individual returns from apparently certain death – is playing to packed audiences currently, with Leonardo di Caprio widely tipped to get an overdue Oscar for his part as the title character.

Racing had its own `revenant’ moment at the weekend, when Ruby Walsh and Killultagh Vic came back from the dead, figuratively speaking, to win the Grade 2 ‘Money Back On Fallers’ at Coral.ie Novice Chase at Leopardstown.
