Very clever, love it! Had never heard of a horn shark before. (Not the prettiest in my eyes, but what does it care?)
To the other comments, Kieran's title is key: the theme entries literally "jump" the name of a shark: MAGIC BULLET is actually MAGIC CARPET, jumping a BULL shark; DEHORNING is actually DETICKING, jumping a HORN shark; and DIRECT LOANS is actually DIRECT LINES, jumping a LOAN shark. Again, very clever! And I didn’t figure it out until after I filled in the whole grid.

That still doesn’t make sense to me. Feels like a cryptic in that sense, which my autism just doesn’t get. :/
