PUNCHESTOWN & LIMERICK 08/12/13

Backed The Game Changer each way in the first. Needs to be held up as he doesn't do a tap in front, but hit the front too early last time before making a hames of the last. He didn't find much when headed and I reckon Russell will be at pains to deliver him late; think he can reverse the form with Ange Belafre.

Haven't backed anything else as of yet but will be interested to see what price Rathvinden is in the first at Limerick, and Black Hercules in the last at Punchestown. Bright New Dawn is a horse I really like but I'd want 5/2 before getting involved in what looks a decent beginners' chase.
