Winning bumper Multifactorial hasn't progressed from a fine opening run over hurdles at Downpatrick while stable companion Talk Of The Town ran poorly on testing ground at Down Royal last time. The latter won a Kilbeggan bumper in July and produced two good efforts over timber on quicker going so wouldn't want any more rain. Flash De Touzaine looked a promising type when third in a Cork bumper but then ran a shocker at Kilbeggan For Talks Sake has won between the flags and has had a run over hurdles on this track but was beaten a long way in a Listowel bumper last time. PICTURES OF HOME is related to several winners and made a promising hurdling debut at Gowran in March despite looking in need of experience so he gets the nod in a race that won't take much winning.
