FormscanBy Donal Murphy - THE GAME CHANGER is a likeable sort and another good performance can be expected from him in this ultra-competitive contest. The Charlie Swan trained gelding won a similar event at Killarney in August and was second to Darwins Fox on his last outing at Cork. He hasn't finished worse than fourth on his last five starts and with Jonathan Burke taking a valuable five pound off here he should go close. Macnicholson and Xsquared weren't beaten far by the selection when he won at Killarney and they both look to have solid claims. Princeton Plains won this race in 2011 but he has been out of form for a while now. Tony McCoy takes the ride here and it will be interesting to see how he gets on. Willie McCreery has his string in great form at present and his Fourni (who makes her handicap debut) can't be ruled out while Pivot Bridge, Casimir Road, Pires and Portrade are others to consider.
