Verdict
I'M A GAME CHANGER and Email Rose were separated by just half-a-length when third and fourth over the course and distance last month. The former made a couple of mistakes at a crucial time and may just be able to confirm the form and take this. Ingleby Mackenzie has looked as though he needed further than this in his last two starts over fences and though Got Trumped has run in much better company than this over timber he was beaten a long way on his only start over fences. Konitho, a Naas maiden hurdle winner, will have come on a bundle for last month's chasing debut and better is expected.
