Sean Bowen Saturday rides blog: 'I am sure his first victory isn't far away'

With a big few weeks of horse racing in the books and more to come, Sean Bowen shares his latest exclusive blog with Coral, previewing his five rides at Bangor on Saturday.

Things haven’t gone right for him this season. He unseated at Wetherby when he was travelling well. He was then too keen at Newbury over 3m. Olly Murphy is opting to drop him down in trip to a distance he was running well over last season. He is off the same mark as when he just got beat at the Scottish Grand National meeting and a Bangor is a course that suits front runners like him.

He has been running well over this sort of trip, finishing second on his last two outings. This horse is still a maiden but in this sort of grade, I am sure his first victory is not far away. 

This will be his first run for Warren Greatrex. He was in good form for Emma Lavelle but he then sort of lost his way when with Dr Richard Lewland. He needs to bounce back to form but he is now off his last winning mark. Hopefully, a change in yard has done him good. 

He has been off the track for a while, but Neil Mulholland knows how to get one fit. This will be his first run in a handicap, and we will see where he is at with this mark. His last two victories suggest he has a good attitude, so it looks to be a good ride to pick.
