Sean Bowen blog: ‘He’d go there with a chance’

Following this week’s Cheltenham Festival races, the latest Sean Bowen blog with Coral previews the jockey’s rides at Kempton on Saturday.

1:35 Kempton – Western Zephyr

He’s actually a nice horse Western Zephyr, and I remember winning a bumper on him at Huntingdon a few years ago, but he then struggled in that good bumper at the Grand National meeting. He tends to run his best races fresh, so although he started the season off with a couple of good runs, he really has disappointed on his last few starts.

The handicapper hasn’t really relented with his mark, but he has had a little bit of a break, and if he was able to return to his best form, then he’d go there with a chance.

2:10 Kempton – Alien Storm 

I’ve never ridden Alien Storm before so I don’t know too much about him, but Charlie Longsdon’s horses have been running well, so hopefully he can continue in that vein. He’d definitely look well handicapped on some of his best form, so if he can jump with a bit more fluency here, then hopefully he’ll go well in the first-time tongue-tie.

2:45 Kempton– Found On

She was supposed to run at Cheltenham in the Ultima on Tuesday, but the ground just got far too testing for her, so she was a non-runner on the day in the end. The ground at Kempton should be much more suitable for her, and I schooled her earlier in the week, and I’ve never seen her looking so well.
