Verdict

PERRY OWENS has never won on the level though has shown ability and was well supported for his hurdling debut at Galway which he duly won. He's on a fair mark on the Flat and his rider's claim is a bonus. Stellify continues to frustrate having now been placed in five of 14 starts without winning though she's been in very good form on testing ground recently. Lady Ironside makes her handicap debut from a fair mark but Duchess Ravenwaves was beaten a long way on her reappearance at Fairyhouse and may need another run. High Lake found 1m6f too far on very testing ground at Gowran and should do better back over this trip.
