HURLING MAGIC was runner-up to the smart Shan Blue back in an Irish point in November 2018 and was beaten only by a useful prospect on his belated Rules debut at Warwick last month. This looks an excellent opportunity for Nicky Henderson's 7-y-o to open his account, with Master Templar taken to follow him home.
