The I.N.H. Stallion Owners EBF Maiden Hurdle at Down Royal saw 5/2 favourite Air Of Entitlement travel all over her rivals at the business end.
On her racecourse jumping debut, the bumper winning former Colin Bowe point-to-point scorer ultimately wasn't hard pressed at all in the hands of Sean Flanagan, to see off well-backed gelding Ballybow (9/2 into 100/30) by three and a half lengths.
Henry de Bromhead has care of Air Of Entitlement for Robcour, and he also saddled the third home, Nastya for owner Alan Halsall.
"Absolutely (a very promising mare) - jumped fantastic and obviously had the experience of point-to-pointing as well," reported Flanagan.
"Probably a middling enough contest on paper, but I couldn't have won any easier than I did.
"I had loads left and I won well now."
