Sean Bowen Blog | Cheltenham November Meeting Day Two
13 Nov 2026
Sean Bowen rides in all bar one of the races on the second day of the November Meeting at Cheltenham. Check out which runners he thinks have the best chances of victory below!
13:10 Cheltenham – Don Dandy
He ran a good race at Market Rasen last time without winning on what was his British debut, and we were a little disappointed to get beaten. However, I think the experience of racing our way, rather than the French way, will have done him no harm.
He brings plenty of experience into this race and is a horse with a lofty handicap mark, but hopefully he can put in another good performance.
13:45 Cheltenham – Folie Golith
She needs to step up quite a lot on what she showed at Uttoxeter if she's going to be competitive here, to be honest. It’s a proper Arkle trial, and it will be very hard to beat the top three in the betting, but hopefully she can outrun her odds and put in a good performance.
14:20 Cheltenham – Zurich
I'm delighted to pick up this ride for Henry De Bromhead. He's a horse who has run in plenty of these big handicaps and knows how to perform in this sort of company.
He's obviously a course and distance winner, so I'm looking forward to getting on board him. I'm sure he is going to in the mix in what is another competitive renewal of this race.
14:55 Cheltenham – Rambo T
He steps up in trip, which I think could suit him. He's not a guaranteed stayer, but as he's got a bit older he looks like a horse who wants the extra distance.
I thought he ran well in the Silver Trophy. He looked a little outpaced at one stage but stayed on strongly at the finish to come home in fifth. He's off a lovely handicap mark now and if he's going to run a big race I'd imagine this is the sort of race he'll do it in.
15:30 Cheltenham – Daylatedollarshort
He started his season off fantastically and seems to have improved a little bit again this year.
Obviously, having gone up in the handicap after winning the Silver Trophy at Chepstow, things aren't going to be quite as easy for him, but he definitely goes there with a massive chance. He's in great form and I'm looking forward to riding him.
16:00 Cheltenham – Miss Master
She's a point-to-point winner and is owned by Richard Johnson, so I'm particularly looking forward to this one. It will be my first ride for Richard and also his first runner for the yard.
She's a nice, straightforward mare, and although bumpers are always wide open and you never really know what you're going to come up against, she seems to have a good attitude. Hopefully, she can run a nice race and finish the afternoon on a positive note.
