Punchestown Race 3 - Win A Trip To Lapland At Punchestown On Sun 22 November Mdn
IMPOSING (3) represents notable connections. Progressed from running ninth on debut at Punchestown to place second contesting a 1400m maiden at Leopardstown ten days ago. May go one better. NONSENSE (5) delivered a runner-up effort on sole career appearance contesting a 1400m maiden at The Curragh. Expected to challenge once again providing second career outing. OKLAHOMA (6) is the stablemate to the top pick. Disappointed when sixth at Listowel five weeks ago. Improvement expected. DAWNMORE (1) drops in grade after missing top-three running fourth in the Auction Series Race Final at Naas. Could be thereabouts.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, ran last of 14 at Thurles on October 8 over 1609m, 19 len behind King Christoph carrying 59.5kg at $126. Better for that run but others preferred.

Raced two times to date. At big odds at debut, 12th of 14 at Thurles on October 8 over 1609m, 15 len behind King Christoph carrying 56.5kg at $41. Second-up ran second last of 10 at Navan on October 21 over 1005m, 7 len behind Eyeconic carrying 60.5kg at $81. Doesn't look one of the major players.

Jumped at big odds at debut, 2nd of 12 at Curragh on October 4 over 1408m, slow going 1.75 len behind Hmas Perth with 59.5kg at $34. Should take the next step today and is among the leading contenders.

Comes off a 37 day let-up. At the latest run ran second last of 7 at Listowel on September 22 over 1609m, 5.5 len behind Letmeentertainyou with 62.5kg at $2. Before that raced on the speed throughout before fading 7th of 14 at York on August 21 over 1408m, 6 len behind Benjamin Hornigold carrying 60.5kg at $2.60. Best form stacks up so he can make amends.

At debut, ran second last of 14 at Gowran Park on October 19 over 1609m, on a slow track; 32 len behind King's Fury with 60.5kg at $13. Doubt he will play a substantial role.

Had two starts to date. At very big odds at debut, 10th of 18 at Naas on October 10 over 1609m, slow going 18 len behind Admired Beauty carrying 58kg at $81. Last start ran second last of 10 at Leopardstown on October 17 over 1609m, 8 len behind Speckles with 58kg at $251. Looks very well placed here so looks hard to beat.
