Winning bumper Star Counsel will undoubtedly improve for her run at Punchestown and her allowance will help while Captain Von Trappe, a winner between the flags, will have come on for his hurdling debut on the same track. Flight Plan didn't relish the tacky ground there last time and his bumper victory came on good going so this can go to GOLDEN BOOT. He finished runner-up to the useful Sub Lieutenant at Fairyhouse and has tackled better company since including a Grade 1 on this track last time where not surprisingly he was outclassed. Voisey's Bay looks best of the remainder after a fair opening run at Thurles.
