Baymount¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Danny Mullins| T: A Mullins| D

9/4

Free-going sort who left previous hurdling efforts well behind when winning 7-runner novice at Tramore (2½m, good to soft) 17 days ago, making all. Needs considering.

Form: P-P3421

Diamond Tipp^p,t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Kevin Healy⁽⁷⁾| T: M Hassett| OR: 96

7/1

Good second in a 2¼m Cork handicap hurdle in August but hasn’t backed that up in 5 starts since. Mark continues to ease, however.

Dunsy Rock¹⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 114

11/4

Landed a fairly useful maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse (2m, heavy) in February but well below that form both runs since, coming in last of 10 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (17f, good) in May. Leading form claims if back to her best after a break though.

Form: 41-50

Louve D'irlande²²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: P Nolan

6/1

Met with defeat only once in France and made a winning start over hurdles at Fontainebleau last October. Faced a stiff task when twentieth of 22 in Dawn Run Mares' Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham (17f, good) on UK debut in March. Remains with potential for new handler.

Form: 010-

Somersby Roost^t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Phillip Enright| T: O McKiernan| OR: 102

14/1

Got off the mark over hurdles at Cork (19f) in May but well held since, eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (2m, good to soft) 12 days ago. Back up in trip with work to do.

Form: 0-1PP08

Dromana Mist¹⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Ms A Power⁽⁷⁾| T: Patrick Kiely| OR: 105| CD

33/1

17/2, landed weak 12-runner novice hurdle here (2½m, good to soft) in May. This demands considerably more after a break.

Form: U-71

Miss Mini Bee^h,t¹⁹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Alex Harvey| T: P T Foley| OR: 102

7/2

Fourteen runs since her last win in 2023 and she was pulled up in handicap hurdle here (2½m, soft) in April. Needs to hit the ground running on her seasonal return.

Forecasts

Baymount (9/4), Dunsy Rock (11/4), Miss Mini Bee (7/2), Louve D'irlande (6/1), Diamond Tipp (7/1), Somersby Roost (14/1), Dromana Mist (33/1)

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.
