From the connections

2 Feb 2025·bet365 Edinburgh National Handicap Chase (GBB Race) · Musselburgh
It's really nice to get Magna Sam back. He had some issues last season, we were just missing something. We did it [his wind] after his break and obviously it's showing dividends now. He had a little blow at the back of two out at Doncaster and it was a nice confidence-booster for him - Alastair Ralph, trainer.
