Sean Bowen Saturday rides blog: ' Hopefully I can come away with at a couple of winners'

Coral ambassador and leading jockey Sean Bowen gives this thoughts on his fives rides on Saturday at Ffos Las where he hopes he can have 'at least a couple of winners'.

It was obviously disappointing news that we lost the Coral Lanzarote meeting this weekend. However, I am delighted to be heading to Ffos Las for five rides. This meeting is now on ITV, so the Welsh racecourse will have the spotlight on it. Hopefully, I can come away with at least a couple of winners.

He is a nice horse who has been running consistently well. Unfortunately, he has bumped into a few smart ones recently which has meant he has had to settle for the minor honours. I am confident he will be thereabouts, and with a bit of luck on his side this time, he could take the first prize.

He had two poor runs over hurdles and then ran well, which meant he was handed an opening mark of 105. His first two runs would indicate that’s a steep mark but if he builds on his performance at Warwick, we will have a great chance, despite having top weight.

He ran well at Bangor last time out finishing third in a 10-runner contest. This is his handicap debut now so we are hoping he can be competitive off this mark of 112. He will only carry 10st 2lb. I’ve always thought he was a nice horse, but we will learn a lot more about him in this contest.
