Grangeclare Native, a winning point-to-pointer and bumper, looked a certain future winner when beaten a head over timber at Navan but has failed to make the expected progress. Look Dont Touch ran easily his best race to date when beaten less than a length by New Ross over this trip at Punchestown with the remainder a long way behind so looks certain to get into contention. Bennystiara was well beaten into third at Downpatrick but looks an improver though the vote goes to ONE FOR JOE. Well supported for a Fairyhouse handicap in November after a cracking effort over 3m at Sligo, he never got involved but can bounce back here.
