Magician can bounce back

Anything less than an emphatic success for Magician in the Group 3 High Chaparral EBF Mooresbridge Stakes at the Curragh this afternoon will be a major surprise.

He was one of the horses Aidan O’Brien sent to Dubai last month, where he contested the Group 1 Sheema Classic over a mile and a half at Meydan.

Magician only finished sixth of 15 behind Gentildonna, but was beaten just three lengths, after having a far from a clear passage in the straight.
