ROUNDABOUT MAGIC was denied a clear run when launching a challenge over track and trip last time and had to settle for third. He gets another chance in this given he finished in front of Terri Rules with Fareeq, Pharoh Jake and Starchant all further behind. Man Of The Sea has been competing in Jersey for most of the year though won in Ireland as a two-year-old and doesn’t look badly treated on that form while the unexposed Oh So Nice was expected to finish closer at Wolverhampton last month but lost a shoe so may do better on this occasion.
