Galway tips: Perry Owens can build on solid effort last time out

The step up to two miles and three furlongs is a positive for Perry Owens, and further encouragement comes from the fact he won his maiden hurdle at this venue when the ground was soft

Perry Owens ran a fine race in the Lartigue Hurdle at the recent Listowel festival and can build on that by taking the Ryans Cleaning, Disinfecting, Waste Disposal & Recycling Handicap Hurdle, the second race on this afternoon’s card in Galway.

The four-year-old was never really competitive that day but stayed on to good effect to take third place behind Autumn Evening and Dark Voyager.
