Sean Bowen Blog | Aintree Day Two
04 Apr 2025
Coral Racing Ambassador, Sean Bowen, previews his three rides on day two of the Grand National Festival at Aintree, including Wade Out for the Olly Murphy team who looks to hold strong claims in the Premier Handicap Hurdle (14:20).
14:20 Aintree – Wade Out
I am really looking forward to riding Wade Out. He has a nice profile ahead of a premier handicap like this. His form has been very good this season.
His one blip came at Cheltenham on Trials Day, but he bounced back last time out at Wetherby, scoring comfortably.
He will be getting weight off most of his rivals in this contest, and I think he could run a massive race.
16:05 Aintree – Western Zephyr
I suggested this race after Cheltenham because he is a very good jumper. His best form has come over two miles so far, but I do think he will stay this 2m5f trip fine. If he gets into a good rhythm over these fences, I do think he could outrun his odds.
It’s always a great thrill to jump the Grand National fences. I won this race with Mac Tottie in 2022, and it would be great to win it for a second time.
16:40 Aintree – Minella Rescue
He obviously has a lot to find on his rivals in this Grade One contest. He has run well over this trip on his last two starts at Doncaster and Haydock, but this is a much tougher assignment. Califet En Vol and Mister Meggit look the ones to beat here.
