Magic Boy
Has led but was ridden more patiently when doing well to get up close home at Redcar (7f, good) in November, considering he was slightly checked in his run; up just 2lb in only his third handicap and has more to come with this stiff test at the trip unlikely to be a problem.

From the connections
“Magic Boy had been lacking a bit of confidence, but Faye gave him a really good ride. She kept filling him with confidence. The ground was very bad on his last run, but his form has held up all year. In his first race he finished fourth and the winner from that day [Spy Chief] was second in the Jersey at Royal Ascot, while the runner-up was [the now 105-rated] Almeraq. So he's been running in some strong races - Nigel Tinkler, trainer.”
