Trainer Darren Bunyan is excited to see what Madame Thunder can do when she steps up in class for Thursday's Jockey Club of Turkey Silver Flash Stakes.
The daughter of Zebedee created a big impression when making a successful start to her career at Naas in late April and the trainer feels his filly will appreciate the sounder surface and longer trip she faces at Leopardstown.
However, he warns she is likely to improve for her first run in almost three months.
Bunyan said: "She was going to go to Ascot but she started to develop a lot around that time, so we decided to back off her and give her a chance.
"I'm lucky the owners have let me take our time with her. It can't always happen today and because I've been allowed to wait with her, I think the owners have a seriously smart filly on their hands.
"She isn't fully wound up for tomorrow and she will improve for the race, both fitness-wise and for the experience, but at the same time she's a filly with a lot of class and she should still run a blinder.
"The better ground will be a help to her and I think she should be better stepping up to seven furlongs.
"This isn't her Derby, though. It's all about getting the run to her, but she is up this level we think."
Bunyan may have been training for only three years in his own name, but has enjoyed a long career in the sport and feels Madame Thunder is the best filly he has seen in well over a decade.
"I have 10 horses in training at the minute and she's by far the best I've had," said the Curragh-based handler.
"I grew up in racing and have about 30 years experience and I'd say it's 15 or 20 years since I saw a filly with as much potential and ability as this one and that was when I was working for Dermot Weld.
"Her lead horse is a very good work horse and can test anything. Before Naas he could stay with this filly to the top of the gallop, but since then, by halfway she's pulling away."
Madame Thunder faces just four opponents in the Group Three contest.
Aidan O'Brien has saddled four of the last six winners and is this year represented by Alice Springs, a ready winner on her debut at the Curragh.
Jessica Harrington claimed last year's renewal with top-class filly Jack Naylor and bids for back-to-back victories with last week's Leopardstown scorer Miss Gossip, who was previously third behind Alice Springs.
The Andrew Slattery-trained Planchart and Prove The Point from Michael Mulvany's yard complete the line-up.
