I'm A Game Changer was going well enough here on his debut when running out on the bend. He should be should be wiser for that experience but CAPITAINE is preferred. The latter found only one too good on his introduction at Taunton and the race has worked out well as he finished ahead of a couple of subsequent winners. Mr Fenton has shown promise in both starts so far and Lets Go Dutchess posted a better effort last time. Minella For Me went for 50,000 euros after he became Joseph O'Brien's first winner as a trainer in a point-to-point at Rockfield in November and makes his debut under Rules for Tom George.
