The Game Changer poised to complete hat-trick

The Game Changer has been a revelation since embarking on his chasing career and will be strongly-fancied to complete a hat-trick over the bigger obstacles in the Stena Line Horizon Chase in Wexford tonight.

Trained until his retirement in February by Charlie Swan and now with Gordon Elliott, the six-year-old was largely an under-achiever over hurdles, despite performing creditably in competitive handicaps, including a solid third in Aintree in April.

But the switch to fences and the addition of a tongue-tie has been a major success. He made all and bolted-up on his fencing bow in Punchestown, slamming Daneking by 13 lengths.
