Cavern Club makes all the noise in Summer Hurdle
He started at 8-1 for his switch of codes at Market Rasen, and after a good round of jumping he reeled in Kihavah to prevail by a length and a quarter, as his stablemate Nibras Gold finished third.
'He won his last start on the Flat and that is something I quite like to do,' said Owen.
'I always thought he was well handicapped, he's just getting it all together.
'He's been second at Cheltenham and he's been running in some decent handicaps.
'On the Flat he wants a fast pace to run at, so we knew the make-up of the race would suit him. He travelled well and Gavin gave him a lovely ride. That was his best jumping performance, he ran very well at Cheltenham, but probably just hit the front a bit too soon.
'He's got a lot of wins in him, this horse, we'll have a little break now and then he'll go back to Chester.
'He likes Chester and he's got owners up there, then we'll probably have a go at one of the early Cheltenham meetings.'
Owen had earlier struck with Laravie, who made it four wins on the bounce when taking the Get Best Odds Guaranteed At Unibet Novices' Hurdle under Sean Bowen.
The six-year-old arrived in Lincolnshire having taken her three prior starts by good margins, and duly added a fourth successive victory as the 4-9 favourite.
'That was good, she's a smart mare and she's obviously come here for a four-timer,' said Owen.
'The visor has made a real difference to her, we'll try to get some black type with her now in Ireland.
'She's only small but she's done very well to keep winning under a penalty.'
And Owen claimed a third win on the Lincolnshire track's flagship day, with Prince Quattro reeling in the font-running Gavin to claim the Unibet More Extra Places Everyday Handicap Hurdle as the 3-1 favourite under 5lb claimer Alex Chadwick.
Broughshane made a winning stable debut for Mickey Bowen in the Unibet Moneyback As Cash Races Handicap Hurdle in the hands of the trainer's brother, James.
Previously trained by Jonjo and A J O'Neill, the seven-year-old struck at odds of 15-8 when holding off a challenge from Adrian Keatley's Maghlaak.
'He's a chaser really, we just thought we'd give him a go here to see where we are with him,' said the winning trainer.
'His work is very good at home and we did think he'd have a very good chance.
'We'll see what we do next, we'll just enjoy today but eventually he will go back chasing.'
Bowen then teamed up with his other brother, Sean, as both took second victories on the card via Lermoos Legend, who landed the Try Unibet's Smartview Racecards Handicap Chase at 4-1.

‘He's so slick' – Willie Mullins' potential next superstar slashed to joint-fav for Cheltenham after ‘impressive' debut

He extended well when out in the clear but still left plenty of room for improvement in the jumping department. Mullins liked what he saw though - and so did bookies, as they cut him to 14-1 joint-fav from as big as 33s for the Supreme Novices' Hurdle. Davy Crockett, who is owned by JP McManus and Susan Magnier and a half-brother to dual Grade 1 winner Mystical Power, heads the market for the Festival opener next March with Mullins' Champion Bumper winner Bambino Fever. While he could revert to the Flat, Mullins confirmed his more immediate future lies over hurdles. And he set out an early target his team will work back from - possibly with a view to rocking up at Cheltenham next March. The Closutton boss told Racing TV: "For a horse only having his second run on a track, he was very good. "He was so slick with his jumping apart from at the second last. "Those novices are so fast, he was going faster than the others and he just missed it. "But he was perfect at the last and he looks a real nice prospect with his pedigree. "I want to plan a path to the (Grade 2) Royal Bond in November. "He's not the biggest horse - not a chasing type - but he looks a real hurdler. "He's more a Flat/hurdle type horse and maybe we could go back on the Flat with him. "But the way he jumped there I'd say he'll make a fine hurdler. "A lot of horses in his position would have thrown in the towel after the sticky jump but he didn't." Gold Cup-winning jockey Walsh was just as complimentary. He said: "He was a bit novicey. We were trapping down to the second last and Davy Crockett got a bit unsighted and just galloped into it. "I loved the way he picked up after that and winged the last. Plenty of improvement likely. "He had been keen in his bumper but settled grand until he got a bit lit up in second half of the race. "He'll learn in time, he's not a big horse but there's an engine in there."

Family announces death of Irish training great Edward O'Grady
O'Grady trained a whole host of top-class horses over the course of his long and illustrious career and for a long time was the leading Irish trainer at the Cheltenham Festival where he saddled 18 winners, the first being Mr Midland in the 1974 National Hunt Chase. A statement released by his family through Horse Racing Ireland read: 'It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of Edward O'Grady, who passed away peacefully yesterday evening at St James's Hospital (in Dublin), surrounded by his family. 'Edward was a cherished husband, father and grandfather and also one of the most respected and successful racehorse trainers of his generation. 'Over the course of an extraordinary career that spanned more than five decades, Edward trained just shy of 1,700 winners under rules. His name became synonymous with Irish National Hunt racing, and he was a formidable force at Cheltenham and across the racing world. 'Beyond the winners and the headlines, Edward was a man of deep intelligence, sharp wit, and remarkable warmth. He had friends on every continent, a story for every occasion, and a lifelong passion for the sport, the hunting field and everything equestrian. 'Funeral details will be announced in due course.' Perhaps the most talented horse to pass through O'Grady's hands was Golden Cygnet, a brilliant winner of the 1978 Supreme Novices' Hurdle but fatally injured in the Scottish Champion Hurdle the following month. More recent Festival winners for O'Grady include Pizarro, who landed the 2002 Champion Bumper in the hands of top Flat jockey Jamie Spencer, and the 2003 Supreme scorer Back In Front. Away from Cheltenham, O'Grady saddled Sound Man to win successive runnings of the Tingle Creek at Sandown in 1995 and 1996, while his final Grade One winner was Cash And Go in the Future Champions Novice Hurdle at Leopardstown's Christmas Festival in 2011. Other top-class horses he trained include 2002 Irish Champion Hurdle winner Ned Kelly and his half-brother Nick Dundee, who both carried the colours of Coolmore supremo John Magnier. O'Grady trained for more than 50 years from his base in County Tipperary, taking over at Killeens after the death of his father, Willie – a former dual Irish champion jockey and later trainer – in January 1972. His final winner came via Our Soldier in a Bellewstown handicap hurdle at the start of July, while his last runner, Sovereign Banter, finished unplaced in a Cork sprint on Friday night.
