Sean Bowen Saturday rides blog: 'Hopefully he can make a winning start to the campaign'

Coral ambassador Sean Bowen has four rides at Wetherby on Saturday, November 1. The jockey previews them all in his latest blog.

• Wilstar - Wetherby - 12.40 race odds

• Strong Leader - Wetherby - 2.22 race odds

• Go Dante - Wetherby - 3.30 race odds

• Wa Wa - Wetherby - 4.05 race odds

12.40 – Wilstar

This looks like a hot race to begin with. Kadastral won a valuable bumper at Newbury at the back end of last season for Dan Skelton, and Cave Bridge got off the mark over hurdles at the first attempt for Harry Derham.

I really like my horse. He was a little too keen first time out. We then dropped him back at Perth, and he won nicely. He is one of the horses in the yard that we are really looking forward to starting the season with. If the ground remains ‘Good’, that will be perfect for him.

2.22 – Strong Leader

Strong Leader has been a stable star for Olly (Murphy). On ratings, he is above his rivals, but I do believe there is more to come from Potters Charm, especially after he has had a wind op.

I schooled Strong Leader yesterday, and he felt in good form. I always enjoy jumping on board this horse, and hopefully he can make a winning start to the campaign, just like he did last season at Newbury.
