Forecasts

Wearapinkribbon (11/10), Talk Of The Town (11/4), For Talks Sake (3/1), Multifactorial (10/3), Allbarone (9/1), Flash De Touzaine (22/1), Ballywilliam Boy (25/1), Pictures Of Home (33/1), Glorious Singer (50/1), Half Shot (50/1), Goule Piatte (50/1), Ballinasilla (80/1), Church Lane (100/1), Bigly (125/1), Arrycan (150/1)

FOR TALKS SAKE looks the way to go here given he arrives fit from bumpers and shaped well on his only previous run over hurdles when fifth at Punchestown. Talk Of The Town has the form to play a big part if shrugging off a modest effort at Down Royal while Pictures Of Home is another well worth considering on the back of his encouraging debut fifth at Gowran.
