Harry Bowles

A misspent youth. Having cultivated a love for racing on the Point-to-Point tracks of East Anglia, the best part of eight years at secondary school and the University of Leeds were spent in a betting shop, somehow graduating from the latter despite an attendance record which can only be described as pitiful. An offer to join Timeform in early 2006 was hastily accepted, and for the past few years Harry has been able to concentrate fully on jumps racing in his role as a National Hunt reporter.
