FormscanBy Michael Graham - Thunder Kiss looks the part on paper. She started her career at Gowran Park in June with a solid second to subsequent Irish Oaks fourth Laburnum. After that she filled the same spot in the Curragh behind a horse who went on to be third in Listed company. Thunder Kiss then duly shook off her maiden status with a victory in Killarney. It is worth noting that she holds a Group 2 entry for next month. The concern would be that connections said she needs soft ground after her victory in Co Kerry. TOO SOON TO PANIC also has that Group 2 entry. Her Cork success has been endorsed by the runner-up who scooted in by three and a half lengths on her next start. Too Soon To Panic was then a fair third in the Ulster Derby on her first crack at an extended 10 furlongs. She's Our Queen is raw, but going the right way after showing her toughness to win in Down Royal. Bella Brazil is another with claims.
