1st 8 |
12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 90y |
10st 3lb |
Has shown improved form in her three maiden hurdle runs this season, two of them over C&D on good; third here and at Ballinrobe before a 10.5l sixth of 16 here last time; needs to find more on handicap bow. |
14/1 |

9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 157y |

Has shown improved form to take third in maidens here and at Ballinrobe; perhaps a little more is needed to make the frame here. |

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. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 37y |
8st 11lb |
C&D winner last October on soft off 2lb higher; recent efforts leave her with a good bit to find and this quicker ground not ideal. |
25/1 |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 207y |

Won on soft ground at Bellewstown in October over an extended 1m4f off 1lb higher; moderate efforts since; chance at her best and rain will help. |

Won off 2lb lower at Bellewstown last October (12.5f, soft); not a bad effort when midfield at Roscommon latest (1m4f, yld-sft); rain would boost chance. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 180y |
10st 13lb |
Slowly improving, fair fifth over C&D in May and later in month stayed on late to chase home a hot favourite at Tramore; tongue-tie now added to hood; more likely needed to play a major role. |
5/1 |

2nd 6 |
29th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 145y |

Some signs of progress when beaten 18l in a 2m6f maiden at Killarney only recently but she'll need more again. |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 2f 200y |
11st 3lb |
Runner up in first two starts over hurdles; off the mark in a mares' maiden hurdle at Tramore on latest (21.5f, good); debatable whether this drop in trip will suit but she's fit and in form and should be in the mix again. |
13/2 |

1st 8 |
29th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 145y |
11st 7lb |
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. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 162y |
11st 1lb |
Just hints of ability in maidens but has been poor in two handicaps; however, was favourite last time at Clonmel so is surely better than showing; can't be ruled out with blinkers added. |
10/1 |

9th 7 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 116y |

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. |
9/1 |
|
4th 10 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 50y |
11st 3lb |
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. |

16-race maiden; fair on the Flat and improved on her first run over hurdles when 12.5l fourth at Downpatrick last time (2m3f, good to yielding); each-way chance. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 2f 185y |

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. |

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.
