Hear The Thunder represents the Willie Mullins team and though she only finished mid-division on her debut at Punchestown in May she showed plenty of potential and will have come on markedly for the experience. She can get the better of Howayadoing, who has made progress with each run but may do better when sent hurdling, though both may have to settle for a place behind BROGINE. She was conceding 3lb when a close second to Bon Chic on fast ground at Punchestown in October and the winner has completed a double over hurdles since. Ellie's Choice wasn't far behind Howayadoing at Wexford and may have more scope.
