Sean Bowen Saturday rides blog: 'I still think he's well handicapped'

He seems in really good form at home and Mickey and Dad have always had a good record in this race, so hopefully he can put up another big performance.

3.20 – Forest Spirit

Forest Spirit had been very consistent until her last run, when things just didn't quite happen for her. Maybe Cartmel didn't really suit, so I'm happy to put a line through that effort.

She drops back to two miles, which is a slight question mark, but there are only five runners, and she carries very little weight. If she can bounce back to her previous form, she should have every chance of running well.

5.15 – Prince Quattro

Prince Quattro has been in good form on the Flat and James Owen has done a brilliant job with horses switching between the two codes.

He hasn't run over jumps for a little while, but if he can bring that recent Flat form with him, then hopefully he'll have a good chance in the last race.

Market Rasen's Summer Plate Meeting

Market Rasen is one of the highlights of the summer jumping calendar and it's the biggest chase meeting of the season so far. The prize-money is excellent and it's a meeting everyone wants to be at. It's a meeting I've been lucky enough to have succes at before, and hopefully I can enjoy another good afternoon there on Saturday.

Early Stages of Jockeys' Championship

It's still very early in the Jockeys' Championship, but Harry Skelton has made a really strong start. Dan Skelton's horses have been flying, and they've clearly targeted getting off to a fast start, so Harry is always going to ride plenty of winners. It gives me something to chase, but hopefully I'll have enough opportunities over the season to get myself back to the top of the table. I've made a decent start to the campaign, so it could turn out to be a real ding-dong battle between Harry and myself.
