Race preview

The majority of this field have questions marks to answer and with that being the case, recent Punchestown runner-up LOOK DONT TOUCH looks the one to focus on. He showed much more sparkle with the tongue-tie fitted last time - when he pulled clear with the winner - and should make a bold bid from the front once again. Bennystiara represents top connections and also brings recent placed form into this contest, making him a likely contender, while the once-raced Offaly Star offered promise on his debut and looks capable of stepping up.
