Danny Gilligan’s rising star found another opportunity to shine as he guided Glan to victory in the Join Racing TV Now Handicap Hurdle, the most valuable race on the bank holiday card at a busy Listowel Racecourse.

The young rider has formed a fine partnership with runners from the Gordon Elliott stable, and his talent was abundantly obvious once more as he gave the JP McManus-owned mare a confident ride throughout.
