After running over two-miles here last year he is probably used to going a bit faster. I think he really appreciated the step-up in trip and the benefit of the run coming here this year helped him as well. Coming off of the Flat, this is a different type of racing and they just go a good bit quicker early. He wasn't pulling and dragging my arms out, but I was still happy to let him go to the front once we had a couple of hurdles jumped. He came to us last year. He ran a cracker here in Galway and ran a really good race in the Ebor, which I think we’ll probably head back for now after that,. Looking at him jumping there he was electric for a horse having his second run over hurdles, coming from Poland. The only jumping he did was in our place. He was so confident in himself, just skimming the tops of the hurdles. I’d say Paul’s heart was in his mouth. You like a handicapper doing that but not a horse first time out over hurdles. He really enjoyed himself, he was loving it.

The Raceday Stewards reviewed the start of this race where it appeared Premier Banner, ridden by J.G. Gilligan, bucked and veered left after the race had started. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the matter, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted
The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident after the third last involving Aurora's Bay, ridden by Mr O.T
Gilligan, unplaced, and Plomeur (FR), ridden by J.J. Slevin, pulled up, where it appeared Aurora's Bay ran short of room and had to check. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Mr. O. T. Gilligan stated that he ran short of room when the horse on his outside came back to the rail. J. J. Slevin stated that his mount jumped left and he then went back to the rail. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards found J. J. Slevin, was in breach of Rule 214 in that he had ridden carelessly, and having considered his record in this regard the Raceday Stewards suspended J. J. Slevin for two racedays
J.G. Gilligan, rider of Premier Banner, trained by Paul John Gilligan, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount bucked out of greenness and veered left after the start.
