3rd 11 |
26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y |
10st 11lb |
0-4 over hurdles and rated 97; best effort yet an 11l third of 16 at Sligo latest (2m2f, good) on return from a 200-day break; yard's runners always respected here and shorter trip will suit; place chance. |

Second in a bumper for Andrew Balding; wasn't going to be beaten far when a late faller at Killarney, but tailed off here when last seen in October. |

Fourth over C&D on stable debut before winning on soft ground at Bellewstown in October; well beaten since, but probably needed the run when long way behind Prom Queen at Gowran. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |

Huge odds for all five runs under rules' (four in m'den hurdles) and ran poorly; hard to fancy on the basis of those now sent handicapping. |

29th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 145y |

Receiving weight off the winner when beaten a neck at Killarney (2m6f maiden) but no disgrace in that effort and the front two were clear; strong claims. |
8/11 |

2nd 15 |
11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 100y |
10st 13lb |
Solid bumper runs before finishing second on hurdling debut at Cork (2m3f, yielding), clear of third and winner now rated 114; should be more to come from this half-sister to useful 2m4f hurdle winner Starzand. |

Bits and pieces of form, albeit beaten a long way; handicap debut (after winter break) at Kilbeggan last month mildly encouraging and entitled to come on for that. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 50y |

Showed bits and pieces of ability in four runs before pulling up on handicap debut at Punchestown (3m, heavy) when found to have bled; 24l fourth in a Clonmel maiden last time (2m3f, soft); more needed. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 2f 185y |
10st 5lb |
Second runner for yard; fair maiden on the Flat, runner-up in four of her last six starts at Dundalk since November; strong in the betting over C&D on hurdles debut a fortnight ago (sent off 9-2) but always in rear; still early days and better can be expected. |

Fair maiden on the Flat; has been in good form at Dundalk; runner-up in four of her six starts since last November, equally effective at 1m4f and 2m; could feature here with an adequate round of jumping |

Verdict
This is a very weak race, in which the form of POETIC TWIST is far and away the best on offer. She finished well clear of the third when runner-up on hurdling debut and should collect. Echinacea has been consistent on the AW and could go well if transferring that ability to hurdles. Holly’s Thunder is a half-sister to eight winners, including three-time Grade 1 winner Don Poli.
