Sean Bowen: He has done nothing but improve all summer

Sunday

2.10 Ffos Las – Idefix De Ciergues

He ran well on his stable debut in a bumper at this course. Unfortunately, he ran a bit flat on his second appearance as it probably came a bit too soon for him. Rebecca Curtis then freshened him up and he was much better on his third bumper start. He will have had plenty of experience jumping hurdles at home. We think he is a nice horse, so hopefully he can prove it on the track.

3.20 Ffos Las – Strong Leader

He was a very good novice last season and probably one of the best of the British. His last start came at Aintree where it was a strange race. He lost his position but then ran on well at the back end of the contest to finish second.

This is a handicap contest so he has top weight to contend with, but hopefully his class can get him through. If he improves on what he did last season, we have a lot to look forward to with this horse.

3.55 Ffos Las – Ten Past Midnight

He ran well at Plumpton last time over 2m 4½f. This is obviously a step up in trip for him and it will come on ground which is softer than he usually features on. Martin Keighley feels now is the time for him to run over this longer distance. He normally runs a good race and there is no reason to think that can’t continue.

4.30 Ffos Las – Enforcement

I schooled him earlier in the week and he seems well. I have not ridden him before. This is his first start since having a wind op, so hopefully that procedure will have helped.

5.05 Ffos Las – Valens Bruyee

Rebecca Curtis’ bumper runners tend to fare well first time out. He is by Sageburg and they are usually forward and ready for their first appearance on the track in bumpers. If there is one trainer who can get their horses ready for their first start, it is Rebecca Curtis.
