Owega can star

Peter Fahey’s Owega Star should now be primed to strike and gets the nap in the Kevin McManus Beginners Chase at Listowel this afternoon.

A solid stayer and mud-lark, he performed promisingly at Killarney last time when beaten a length into second place by Shanpallas.

His biggest worry would have been White Star Line, but that horse got into yesterday’s Kerry National as third reserve and it is surely most unlikely will be asked to run again so soon.
