FormscanBy Michael Graham - BIRDIE OR BUST has plenty going for her in this Listed handicap chase. She probably ran as well as could be expected in fourth in a Grade 3 novice chase at Galway and just three runs back won a mares' beginners chase by seven lengths over course and distance. She looks the pick of Henry de Bromhead's four runners with Darragh O'Keeffe in the plate. Coming Up Easy, who also represents de Bromhead, is rocketing up the weights after handicap chase victories in Limerick and Cork. He's up another 7lb, but it may not stop him. Sea Music, who was fifth in the Galway Plate, ought to acquit himself well in this company.
