FormscanBy Gary Carson - PICTURES OF HOME may be able to get his head in front here in a tricky looking contest. The Ted Walsh-trained gelding has been running well in handicapper company this year and stayed on strongly when chasing home Chenery at Gowran last month. This better ground is a bit of an unknown but may help him get this trip as he didn't quite appear to see it out over three miles on his previous two runs. Minella On Line was also runner-up on his last outing when chasing home Josies Orders at Cork earlier in the month. The veteran is only a couple of pounds higher now. Ellipsism, who was two-and-a-quarter lengths behind him then, is only a pound better off.
