Cauchy identity, with sum restricted over partitions with first part $\leq n$
I don't think there is a simple product expression. You can check it by just computing the sum for small values of $n$ and small numbers of variables and seeing if it factors.

Evaluation of sum of factorials
This sum can also be evaluated by Saalschütz's theorem (the balanced terminating $_3F_2$ summation formula).

$\prod_k(x\pm k)$ in binomial basis?
But the right side seems to be a polynomial of degree $3n+1$. So either we need another $n$ points or an argument that shows that the degree is really at most $2n+1$.
