Golden Boot made a gallant attempt to make all at Naas in February and should improve this season as should No Dice, whose only run to date was for David Pipe in a bumper at Ascot where he showed plenty of ability. Dual bumper winner OWEN MC didn't show much on his hurdling debut at Naas but there's much more to come from him and he's handed the vote. Sub Lieutenant finally got off the mark in a Thurles bumper last month while the likes of point-to-point winner Velocity Boy and dual Flat winner Eshtiaal should have more to offer.
