LOOK DONT TOUCH's second at Punchestown recently is comfortably the best piece of form on show and he should be able to go one better taking on a bunch of rivals that, in the main, have plenty to prove. One For Joe is a danger if tuned up on his return, while Grangeclare Native could improve for the fitting of blinkers, so he's not totally ruled out.
