Verdict

I'm A Game Changer was engaged in a Grade 3 at Navan yesterday but if turning up here instead would have to be on the shortlist. BREAKEN joined Willie Mullins after finishing runner-up at Auteuil and made a successful debut for the yard at Limerick in March. He pulled too hard when well beaten here but this should be his game as he's a half-brother to a smart hurdler/chaser. Trainwreck has been disappointing over fences so far but Dunvegan could be a useful recruit. Pat Fahey's grey, a dual bumper winner and successful over hurdles at Fairyhouse a year ago, has the scope to make the grade over fences. Chavi Artist and Empirion are also engaged at Navan yesterday.
