Crowned champion jockey in Britain for the second time on Saturday, Sean Bowen is looking forward to this week's Punchestown Festival.

The Welshman rides in both handicap hurdles on the opening day, tomorrow.

He teams up with Olly Murphy's Daylatedollarshort in the Albert Bartlett Triple Crown Series Final with this one chasing a hat-trick after two wins at Wetherby.

Bowen later rides Tony Martin's recent Bellewstown Flat winner Putapoundinthejar in the Killashee Hotel Handicap Hurdle.

"I love my time riding in Ireland," he told Dave Keena.

"I really enjoy it and, obviously, it was nice to get a winner at Punchestown last year.

"My brother James got a winner or two as well. The whole family was over and it gave us great satisfaction riding a few winners over there.

"I've been very lucky to have had plenty of success in Ireland.

"Obviously, riding an Irish Grand National winner (Haiti Couleurs) was a good day and I've had a winner at the DRF (I Started A Joke) as well which was good.

"It would be nice to get one at Punchestown again this year."
