Sean Bowen Saturday rides blog: 'I always feel like he has a great chance here'

Sean Bowen has five rides at Cheltenham on Saturday, November 15, 2025. He previews them all in his latest Coral ambassador blog.

• Kate O'Riley - Cheltenham - 12.35 race odds

• Theatre Native - Cheltenham - 2.20 race odds

• Long Draw - Cheltenham - 2.55 race odds

• Kap Boy - Cheltenham - 3.30 race odds

• Celestial Tune - Cheltenham - 4.00 race odds

12.35 – Kate O’Riley

This is a competitive-looking juvenile contest, but my filly had some good form on the Flat, and she prevailed in her first appearance over hurdles at Ludlow last month. The form of that race has worked out well, with the horse she beat winning next time out.

James Owen obviously thinks a lot of his filly to throw her in here, and I am sure she will run a big race.

2.20 – Theatre Native

Theatre Native is obviously a good mare, with one of her victories coming over this course and distance. Looking at her form, her best performances have come on ‘Good’ ground, so the weather forecast is a concern. Her run at Limerick last time should have fine-tuned her for this race. Jagwar, Il Ridoto and Panic Attack look like the ones to beat, but if my mare handles the ground, she could outrun her odds.

2.55- Long Draw

It was a good run from Long Draw at Cheltenham last month on his first outing of the season. He was staying on strongly at the finish, and I am sure he will come on for that appearance. This horse loves it around Cheltenham, so I always feel like he has a great chance here. I am excited to get back on board, and hopefully, he can pick up his third success at this course.
