Sounds Of Thunder won twice over hurdles last month and though still a maiden on the Flat she should be winning soon. Hawk Dance has always looked as though a test of stamina would suit and likes fast ground so this should prove ideal but it's another fast ground performer, ANNEES D'OR, who gets the nod as she made a fair reappearance after a long break at Sligo recently and her only career success came over timber on very fast going last summer. Lisagore Lady finished in front of Sounds Of Thunder in the Charity Race at Punchestown but has yet to reach a place in 15 career starts.
