Blackjack Magic
Well treated on old form but his last win was in November 2023 and he's generally struggled since then; has something to prove and all of his wins have come on good to soft or slower.

From the connections
“The betting had it right all morning it seems but we thought Blackjack Magic might need it a bit. We felt it's not a 17-runner affair so why not let him take his chance and see what's happened. Forward Plan and Sam Brown were always coming here but he was just an afterthought. We'd been getting him ready for about this time. He was really good, I thought the runner-up might eventually pick us up with fitness telling a bit with a few of ours just needing it. It's a great boost, amazing, I was worried we were going to get beat but we didn't - Anthony Honeyball, trainer.”
“Blackjack Magic deserved to win because of his jumping, I felt Rose Of Arcadia would be a real threat with experience but he'd just had the one run over fences. It's a good value race and sets us up. He had a hard enough race there so we won't be in a rush to come back. He operates on this ground well - Anthony Honeyball, trainer.”
