Charles aims to cast magic spell with Max

PETER CHARLES and It’s Magic Max face the first major test of their partnership this weekend, when they compete at the famed Olympia Christmas show in London.

But yesterday, the stalwart of Irish show jumping was in laid-back mood and not ready to acknowledge this.

“There’ll be no test. I’ll try my best, but it does not make a difference. I’m trying to make the horse go a new way and, if it three month, six months or three years, it makes no difference.”
