In depth
Verdict
Multifactorial has attempted to make all the last twice and hasn't been beaten far at the finish. But he's looking a bit exposed and Battle Of Midway finished just in front of him at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day and there's every chance he will do so again. Goodbye Someday will improve for his run at Leopardstown but YOU CAN CALL ME AL can take this. Edward O'Grady's charge finished a close fourth in a huge field of maiden hurdlers at Naas last month and his pedigree suggests he should be suited by a run on the level.
