The recent form figures of 9-6-6-3-6 tell a fairly consistent story: this is a horse that runs, competes to a point, but hasn't yet found the gear to get to the front. Most of its racing has come at Class 5, which is the bread-and-butter level of British racing — the entry point where horses are expected to be competitive. Magic Music has raced three times at that level without winning, which at least means it isn't being thrown in at the deep end.
The yard behind the horse is trained by Steph Hollinshead, based in Upper Longdon, Staffordshire, and has had six winners on the board this season — so this isn't a stable struggling to find form. Hollinshead clearly knows how to get horses winning, which suggests there may still be hope for Magic Music if the right race comes along. The horse raced just yesterday, so it's very much an active project rather than a fading one.
For now, Magic Music is the kind of horse that keeps the yard optimistic without quite delivering — a work in progress at four years old, still waiting for the pieces to fall into place.
