Race preview

This looks a good opportunity for BIRDIE OR BUST to record a first win over fences. A Listed winner who also finished third in the Grade 2 Mares' Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham, she should have a class edge over this opposition. Although yet to reach the frame in three runs over the larger obstacles, these smaller fences around Killarney will make her task that bit easier. It will be disappointing for connections if she can't avail of this opening. Three times a winner over flights, the Gavin Cromwell-trained Me Wee Bonnie Lass has to be of interest on her chasing debut. Out For A Stroll is another to consider, especially in receipt of weight from her elders.
