These rated races often look tight and this one is no exception though THE GAME CHANGER looks the one to be on. Charlie Swan's charge ran a superb race to finish third in the Galway Hurdle then gave Queen Alphabet 9lb and beat her in a tough Killarney handicap. That looks progressive form and he's taken to see off Darwins Fox, who wasn't too far behind at Galway after a fine run behind Simenon in a Grade 3 at Tipperary. Rawnaq was further behind that pair at Galway but had been in good form previously and will be better suited by quick ground than most. He'llberemembered alternates between hurdles and fences though he's better on ground with some give.
