Bowen missed out on last year’s title after suffering a knee injury on Boxing Day when leading the Championship.

“I wasn’t going to let it happen twice, I couldn’t let the Championship slip again,” he said.

“It was just a matter of starting this season off as fast as we possibly could and I managed to build up a good lead in the summer. Harry Skelton was fighting through Christmas but I built that lead back up again.

“The travelling is crazy. My car will have clocked up 75,000 miles in the season. I very rarely get to go home much so, it’s difficult, but it is all well worth it when you’re crowned Champion Jockey.

“It’s hard work mentally and physically, I’ve kept the body in good shape this season. Mentally, it can be hard work, never having a day off, and just keeping going every day.

“I can’t stand seeing somebody else win on a horse that I should have been on, that’s why I’ll travel up and down the country in one day for a ride if I have to.”
