Ian Williams is hoping the decision to dream big will pay off for Magic Circle when he lines up in the Lexus Melbourne Cup on Tuesday.
The six-year-old has had the ‘race that stops a nation’ as his target since routing his rivals by six lengths in the Chester Cup back in May.
Magic Circle then secured his place on the plane with a similarly impressive verdict in the Henry II Stakes at Sandown a fortnight later, and has been specifically saved for the Flemington feature since then.
Williams is under no illusions as to the task the team face in the Flemington highlight – but with last year’s winning jockey Corey Brown booked to ride, the Worcestershire-based trainer will savour every moment of the Australian adventure.
He said: “We’ve got a huge chance. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance. Everything has gone, to this point, touch wood, spot on with him. Corey was impressed by him and it always helps when the jockey likes the horse and they got on really well.
“It’s a huge ask and a very competitive race, but we’ve got a live ticket so that is exciting. Of course I’m surprised how short he is (in the betting), as we don’t have a monumental top-class string of racehorses in Birmingham.
“We’ve got a nice string and here is a little National Hunt trainer who has a horse as short as 7-1 for the Melbourne Cup, the largest race in Australia. I just think it’s incredible and I have to pinch myself some mornings when I wake up. It’s a dream come true. I’d like him to perform to that level and I’d like him to be really special.”
Brown rode the Joseph O’Brien-trained Rekindling to victory last year, forcing the handler’s father Aidan to settle for a narrow second with Johannes Vermeer.
However, the Ballydoyle handler is back in force this year and counts the ante-post favourite Yucatan among his three challengers. The four-year-old was a conclusive winner of the Herbert Power Stakes on his prep and will team up with James McDonald once more.
O’Brien said: “We thought the Melbourne Cup would suit him well. He’s on a perfect mark and I imagine James McDonald will go forward on him.”
The trainer fields two other live chances in the Ryan Moore-ridden Cliffs Of Moher, who will run as The Cliffsofmoher in the big race, and Rostropovich.
The first-named finished third in the Caulfield Cup in the second of two Australian starts, while Rostropovich was fifth behind the mighty Winx in the Cox Plate on his prep run.
O’Brien added: “Cliffs Of Moher is a very classy horse, but he has plenty of weight. The Cup is a tough, difficult race, but we’ve always thought he could have a big one in him. Rostropovich won a Group Three at Leopardstown and he’s running off a lovely weight. He had a run to sharpen him up in the Cox Plate and Wayne (Lordan) is going to ride him.”

Nakeeta finished fifth in the race last year after winning the Ebor but has struggled to find the same kind of form for Iain Jardine this term. He was well beaten in the Moonee Valley Cup on his initial Australian start this term, but Jardine feels he is far from a back number.
The trainer, who saw his Bedrock shock Samcro at Down Royal on Friday, said: “We’ll see how he gets on. We’re hoping he’ll run well. You can put a line through his last run as things didn’t really go his way and a mile and a half was always going to be a bit short for him. They tell me he’s in flying form, so we’ll see.”
A British-trained runner has yet to triumph in Melbourne, and the Saeed bin Suroor-trained Best Solution leads the charge after winning two Group Ones in Germany before shipping to Australia to claim the Caulfield Cup.
A Prince Of Arran secured his place in the field for Charlie Fellowes by winning Saturday’s Lexus Stakes, while John Gosden calls on Sky Bet Ebor winner Muntahaa.
Marmelo for Hughie Morrison and Cross Counter from Charlie Appleby’s yard complete a seven-strong British squad.
