Have to feel for Sean Bowen. 10 years in the saddle and never had a Cheltenham Festival winner. Missed Haiti Couleurs last year as he had to ride Resplendent Grey for Olly Murphy. Will be a similar story in the NH Chase this year with Wade Out / Backmersackme. Thought Indeevar Bleu would give him another good shot.Olly Murphy quote:
