Verdict

LOUVE D'IRLANDE understandably found the Dawn Run Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival too tough an ask on her debut for Paul Nolan but she had looked promising in France prior to that and is taken to make a winning return. Dunsy Rock has the form to play a big part if rejuvenated after a break, while recent Tramore scorer Baymount also can't be ruled out.
